The Siemens SIRIUS 3RH2140-4KB40 is a coupling relay designed for switching auxiliary circuits in control panels. It carries 4 instantaneous normally-open contacts and is driven by a 24 VDC coil with a built-in suppressor diode. The S00 size keeps the footprint tight — 45 mm wide, 57.5 mm tall, 73 mm deep — so it fits easily into crowded DIN-rail enclosures. Rated switching current at 24 V is 10 A, with derated curves for higher voltages: 4.7 A at 60 V, 3 A at 110 V, 1.2 A at 220 V, and so on up to 0.26 A at 600 V.

Frequently asked questions
What is the closest functional second-source for 3RH2140-4KB40?
Within the same SIRIUS family, the 3RH2140-1BP40 shares the S00 size and 4-contact layout but uses a different coil voltage or termination. Check the coil rating before substituting — the -4KB40 is 24 VDC with a built-in suppressor diode. The -1BP40 may not have the same coil suppression, so verify free-wheel diode polarity if swapping.
Will 3RH2140-4KB40 drop into a panel specified around 3RH2140-1BP40 without rewiring?
Mechanically yes — same S00 size, same DIN rail footprint, same screw/snap-on mounting. Electrically only if the coil voltage matches. The -4KB40 runs on 24 VDC; if the -1BP40 was also 24 VDC, the swap is direct. If not, the coil circuit needs re-termination.
What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3RH2140-4KB40?
The part carries a RoHS substance prohibition date of 10/01/2009, indicating compliance with the RoHS directive. Standard Siemens SIRIUS documentation includes CE declaration of conformity and, where applicable, UL/CSA certification. Request specific certificates at RFQ time.
Where can I buy 3RH2140-4KB40 and how is it quoted?
This part is sourced to order through independent industrial-automation distribution. Submit an RFQ for the 3RH2140-4KB40 line item; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time. No minimum order quantity is imposed for standard quantities.
