Product details

Size S00 is the smallest SIRIUS frame, designed to bolt directly to the matching 3RT2 contactor without extra brackets, saving DIN-rail space.

The auxiliary contact is integrated and carries a note "for message 'Tripped'" — that normally-closed 95-96 contact opens on overload, feeding a PLC or indicator directly. No separate aux block needed. The switching capacity across the aux contact covers 2 A at 24 V and 3 A at 120 V, enough for a 24 VDC PLC input or a 120 V alarm lamp. Spring-loaded terminals accept 2× 0.5 to 2.5 mm² solid or stranded, so the wireman's standard 1.5 mm² motor lead fits without ferrules. Temperature compensation is active from -40 to +60 °C, meaning the trip curve doesn't drift when the relay sits next to a warm contactor in a non-ventilated enclosure.

Fastening method is contactor mounting — it clips onto the 3RT2 contactor's front face, not a DIN rail. The relay measures 45 mm wide, 87 mm tall, 70 mm deep, so it adds about 70 mm of depth to the contactor assembly. Any mounting position is allowed, so vertical or horizontal orientation in the panel is fine. The screwdriver slot for the terminal screws takes a 3 mm diameter shaft, 3.0 × 0.5 mm tip — a standard PZ1 or slotted 3 mm works.

Frequently asked questions

What does the note "for message 'Tripped'" mean on the auxiliary contact?

It means the integrated normally-closed contact (terminals 95-96) is wired to signal an overload trip condition — it opens when the relay trips, which can feed a PLC digital input or a panel indicator lamp. The contact is rated 2 A at 24 V and 3 A at 120 V.

Will the 3RU2116-1DC0 fit a panel designed for the 3RV1011-1HA10?

No — the 3RV1011-1HA10 is a motor starter protector (circuit breaker + overload in one unit) that mounts on DIN rail. The 3RU2116-1DC0 is a thermal overload relay that mounts directly to a 3RT2 contactor. They are not footprint-compatible without rewiring and re-mounting.

What compliance documentation is available for the 3RU2116-1DC0?

The part carries a substance prohibitance date of 10/01/2009, indicating RoHS compliance from that date. Standard Siemens SIRIUS documentation includes CE, UL, CSA, and IEC 60947 certifications, though specific cert numbers are not listed in this record.
