The Siemens 3RT1946-7A is an arc chute for 3-pole contactors, sized for the S3 frame. It's a phased-out product; the official successor is the SIRIUS 3RT2 series.
For new designs or BOM replacements, the successor SIRIUS 3RT2 arc chute is the direct swap.
This arc chute mounts onto S3-frame contactors in the SIRIUS 3RT1 family. It's a replacement part for existing installations — not a new-design component.
