Switching capacity across the voltage range
The 3RH2262-4BB40: This contactor's contacts are rated for different currents depending on the switched voltage — 10 A at 24 V, 6 A at 230 V, and 3 A at 400 V, with derating continuing up to 0.26 A at 600 V. The 6 kV rated surge voltage resistance means it handles transient overvoltages common in industrial control panels without flashover.
Panel fit and mounting
Mounts via screw or snap-on onto standard 35 mm DIN rail. Dimensions are 117 mm deep, 45 mm wide, and 57.5 mm tall — that's a compact S00 footprint that fits tight enclosures. Clearance requirements: 10 mm upwards, 10 mm forwards, 10 mm downwards, and 6 mm at the sides for heat dissipation and wiring access. Mounting position allows ±180° rotation on a vertical surface and ±22.5° tilt forward/backward.
Coil power and environmental limits
The DC magnet coil draws 4 W for both closing and holding — no power reduction after pickup, so factor that into the 24 VDC supply sizing. Operating temperature range is -25 to +60 °C, with storage from -55 to +80 °C. Pollution degree 3 means it's rated for conductive pollution environments typical in industrial panels without conformal coating.
