Product details

The DC coil draws 4 W for both pickup and hold, so the control transformer or DC supply needs to budget that continuous load per contactor.

DC switching — what the ratings mean

Unlike AC ratings, DC switching is voltage-limited by arc extinction. This contactor carries a full 10 A at 24 V DC, but that drops to 0.26 A at 600 V DC — the arc energy at higher DC voltages requires derating. Intermediate points: 4.7 A at 60 V DC, 3 A at 110 V DC, 1.2 A at 220 V DC, 0.5 A at 440 V DC, and 0.26 A at 600 V DC.

The S00 frame size and 4 NO contact configuration are shared with other SIRIUS aux contactors; the deciding factor for this order code is the DC coil voltage (not explicitly listed in the available specs) and the specific DC switching curve above.

Environmental and mounting notes

Terminal capacity accepts 2x 0.5–1.5 mm², 2x 0.75–2.5 mm², or 2x 4 mm² solid or stranded — spring-cage or screw terminals depending on variant, but this order code uses screw-type.

Frequently asked questions

What is the mounting method for 3RH2140-1BG40?

It mounts via screw or snap-on onto standard 35 mm DIN rail, with a 45 mm width fitting one modular position.

Are there direct replacements for 3RH2140-1BG40?

No official successor is listed. The closest functional peer in the SIRIUS family is the 3RH2131-1AH00, which has a different contact arrangement — verify your circuit needs before substituting.
