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).
