Product details

The relay mounts directly onto SIRIUS contactors (contactor mounting), so it shares the same DIN-rail footprint and bus-bar system as the contactor below it.

The ATEX certification (DMT 98 ATEX G 001) allows installation in Zone 1 or Zone 2 gas atmospheres, so this relay can protect motors in hazardous areas without an additional barrier. Surge voltage resistance rated at 6 kV gives it adequate immunity for industrial control panels without extra suppression.

Size S0 is the compact frame — 45 mm wide, 97 mm high, 96 mm deep. It clips onto the contactor body (no DIN-rail adapter needed for the relay itself). Side clearance of 6 mm to adjacent devices is sufficient for airflow and wiring access.

Main circuit accepts 2× (0.5…1.5 mm²) solid or 2× (0.75…2.5 mm²) solid — the larger gauge handles full-load currents typical of S0-sized relays. Auxiliary contacts use 2× (20…16 AWG) or 2× (18…14 AWG). The auxiliary contact ratings are: 1 A at 24 V, 3 A at 120 V, 2 A at 230 V, 1 A at 400 V — enough for PLC inputs or contactor coils in the same panel.

Frequently asked questions

What compliance documents does this relay carry?

The relay carries ATEX certification (DMT 98 ATEX G 001) for explosive gas atmospheres, and RoHS compliance (substance prohibition date 07/01/2006). It is designed to meet IEC 60947 and relevant UL standards for industrial control equipment.

What are the physical dimensions for panel planning?

Width 45 mm, height 97 mm, depth 96 mm. Side clearance of 6 mm to adjacent devices. Mounting position allows ±135° rotation or ±45° tilt on a vertical surface.

How does this compare to the 3RT1023-1AL20 contactor?

The 3RU1126-4BB0-ZW97 is a thermal overload relay designed to mount onto SIRIUS contactors. The 3RT1023-1AL20 is a contactor, not a relay. They are complementary — the relay sits on top of the contactor in a motor starter assembly. They are not substitutes; you need both for a complete motor start/overload protection circuit.
