Auxiliary switch blocks for contactor relays  
The contactor relays with 4 contacts according to DIN EN 50011, with identification 
code 40E, can be expanded by adding auxiliary switch blocks 80E to 44E, to give contactor 
relays with 8 contacts according to DIN EN 50011. Identification codes 80E to 44E on the 
auxiliary switch blocks apply to complete contactors. These auxiliary switch blocks (3RH29 
11–1GA.) cannot be combined with contactor relays with identification code 31E or 22E; 
these are coded. All contactor relays with 4 contacts according to DIN EN 50011, with 
identification codes 40E to 22E, can be expanded by adding auxiliary switch blocks 40 to 02, 
to give contactor relays with 6 or 8 contacts according to DIN EN 50005. The identification 
numbers on the auxiliary switch blocks only apply to the attached auxiliary switch blocks. 
Fully mounted 8-pole 3RH22 contactor relays are also available; the 4-pole auxiliary switch 
block on the second level cannot be removed. The terminal designations comply with 
DIN EN 50011. 
Time-delayed auxiliary contacts 
The 3RA28 function modules are available for applications which require time-delayed 
auxiliary contacts.
