The Siemens 3RH6140-1KB40 is a SIRIUS coupling relay, size S00, designed for switching auxiliary circuits in control panels. It carries four normally-open (NO) contacts — the "40 E" designation in the order code means 4 NO, zero NC. Rated operational current at AC-12 is 6 A, and at 24 V DC it's also 6 A.
Screw-type terminals accept 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²) solid/stranded, 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²), or 2x 4 mm². AWG equivalents: 2x (20-16), 2x (18-14), 2x 12. Finely stranded wire with core-end processing: 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²) or 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²).
Electrical ratings and switching capacity
Maximum installation altitude is 2,000 m above sea level. For DC-12 and DC-13 loads, the maximum operating frequency is 1,000 operations per hour. Rated operational currents at various voltages: 6 A at 24 V, 3 A at 110 V, 1.2 A at 220 V, 10 A at 230 V, 3 A at 400 V, 1 A at 690 V. The surge suppressor is a built-in diode.
