Product details

What This Relay Does on the Line

Rated for main circuits up to 690 V, it handles 18.5 kW at 400 V, 22 kW at 500 V, and 37 kW at 690 V. The 480 V and 600 V ratings both list 40 A, so it covers North American 480Y/277 V and 600 V delta systems cleanly. The built-in auxiliary switch provides status feedback — a tripped message is signaled on the auxiliary contact set, which is what the "Note for message 'Tripped'" spec refers to. This lets a PLC or annunciator panel see the relay state without extra hardware.

Mounting and Wiring in the Panel

Mounts directly onto a contactor (contactor mounting), in any position. The S0 footprint is 45 mm wide by 85 mm deep — fits standard DIN-rail enclosures without overhang. Main circuit connections use ring cable lugs with M4 screws; auxiliary connections use Pozidriv PZ2 screwdriver tips, 5–6 mm shaft diameter. Temperature compensation is active from -40 to +60 °C, so the trip curve stays accurate even in hot enclosures or cold outdoor installations.

The integrated auxiliary switch is rated for both AC and DC control circuits. At 24 V DC it switches 2 A; at 120 V AC it switches 3 A; at 230 V AC it switches 2 A; at 400 V AC it handles 1 A. For DC applications at higher voltages, derate to 0.3 A at 60 V, 0.22 A at 110/125 V, and 0.11 A at 220 V. These are the maximum breaking currents — your PLC output card or relay coil must stay within these limits. Per-pole power dissipation is 3.2 W. In a dense panel with multiple relays, factor this into the thermal budget — the S0 frame dissipates heat through the contactor base, so keep airflow around the mounting rail.

Frequently asked questions

What does the 'Note for message Tripped' mean on this relay?

It means the integrated auxiliary switch changes state when the relay trips from an overload or phase failure. That contact closure can be wired to a PLC input or alarm lamp to signal a tripped condition.

What are the key ratings for the 3RU2126-4FJ0?

Trip Class 10, rated insulation voltage 690 V, power ratings of 18.5 kW at 400 V, 22 kW at 500 V, and 37 kW at 690 V. Auxiliary contacts handle 3 A at 120 V AC and 2 A at 24 V DC.

Where can I buy the 3RU2126-4FJ0 and how is it quoted?

We source and quote this part to order against an RFQ. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time through our independent distribution network. Submit an RFQ for your target quantity.

Will the 3RU2126-4FJ0 fit a panel designed for the 3RU2116-1FC1?

Both are SIRIUS Size S0 overload relays with the same 45×85 mm footprint and contactor-mounting interface. The 3RU2126-4FJ0 has higher current and power ratings, so check that your motor FLA falls within its adjustment range. Mechanical fit is identical.
