Product details

Its adjustable current response range of 34 to 40 A means you set the trip threshold to match the motor's full-load current — the relay then protects against sustained overcurrent by heating a bimetal strip that trips the contactor. Trip Class 10 means it will trip within 10 seconds at 7.2× the set current, which is the standard for standard-duty induction motors (pumps, fans, compressors) that don't need the slower Class 20 or the faster Class 5.

This relay is a stand-alone unit (not a clip-on module) with screw-type terminals for both the main and auxiliary circuits. It occupies the S0 contactor footprint — the same frame size as the 3RT102 contactor series — so it bolts directly to the contactor or mounts separately on the DIN rail. The 45 mm width and 95 mm depth keep the panel fill factor tight; you need 6 mm clearance to grounded parts on each side.

The relay carries a substance prohibitance date of 05/01/2012, indicating RoHS compliance from that date. The operating frequency is 50/60 Hz, and the rated operational current is 40 A. For documentation, expect a Siemens declaration of conformity covering IEC/EN 60947-4-1 (the standard for electromechanical contactors and motor-starters).

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest functional second-source — 3RT1023-1AL20?

The 3RT1023-1AL20 is a contactor, not an overload relay — it is the matching contactor for the S0 frame size. The 3RU6126-4FB1 is the overload relay that pairs with that contactor. They are complementary, not substitutes.

What is 3RU6126-4FB1's listed depth?

The depth is 95 mm.

What is 3RU6126-4FB1's listed width?

The width is 45 mm.

Will 3RU6126-4FB1 drop into a panel specified around 3RT1023-1AL20 without rewiring?

Yes — both are size S0, so the overload relay bolts directly to the contactor or mounts on the same DIN-rail footprint. The screw terminals accept the same wire gauges (2x 0.5-1.5 mm² and 2x 0.75-2.5 mm² solid/stranded). No rewiring is needed if the contactor is already wired for the motor circuit.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 3RU6126-4FB1?

RoHS compliance is confirmed from 05/01/2012. Expect a declaration of conformity covering IEC/EN 60947-4-1. The relay is rated for 690 V insulation at pollution degree 3 and 6 kV surge voltage.
