Integrator note: 3RU6116-1KB0 SIRIUS thermal overload relay
The Siemens 3RU6116-1KB0 is a SIRIUS thermal overload relay sized for motor protection in the 9 to 12.5 A range, Trip Class 10. The adjustable current-response value (9...12.5 A) lets you dial in the motor FLA on commissioning; Both main and auxiliary circuits use screw-type terminals. The main circuit accepts 2×(0.5...1.5 mm²) solid or 2×(0.75...2.5 mm²) stranded; the auxiliary side takes 2×(0.5...1.5 mm²) or 2×(0.75...2.5 mm²) as well. Tightening torque for the main contacts is 0.8...1.2 N·m. The relay sits in any mounting position and needs only 6 mm side spacing to grounded parts — tight enough for dense DIN-rail layouts.
