Features:
- Adds two NO and two NC auxiliary circuits to a compatible SIRIUS contactor.
- Snaps onto the contactor front so all four poles follow the main mechanism.
- Uses EN 50005 numbering and screw terminals for identifiable control wiring.
The accessory translates contactor movement into four separate low-power signalling paths.
NO and NC circuits can report state or participate in control interlocks without carrying the main load current.
Electrical loading must follow the utilization category and voltage assigned to the auxiliary circuit.
The Siemens 3RH5921-1FA22 4-Pole Auxiliary Switch Block may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Relating four auxiliary poles to contactor movement
- Two NO paths: Both normally open contacts close when the contactor reaches its actuated state.
- Two NC paths: Both normally closed contacts open as the same mechanism moves.
- Common motion: All four poles follow the mechanical state of the mounted contactor block.
- Numbering: EN 50005 markings separate each terminal pair during commissioning.
Coupling the block to the correct contactor frame
- Snap-on fit: The housing attaches to the documented front interface without separate panel mounting.
- Size boundary: The mating contactor must use the stated S0 accessory format.
- Actuator engagement: Correct seating lets the contactor mechanism drive the auxiliary block fully.
- Removal check: Release the mounting latch without stressing wired screw terminals.
Keeping auxiliary circuits within their switching category
- AC-15 loads: Electromagnetic control devices use the published AC-15 current limit at their voltage.
- DC paths: Direct-current control circuits follow the lower switching ratings at higher voltage.
- Insulation level: The insulation and impulse ratings define separation from neighboring circuits.
- Not main power: The auxiliary poles do not replace the contactor’s load-carrying main contacts.
Applying contact feedback without inferring an undocumented function
- Contactor state: A wired auxiliary pole can indicate whether the mechanism has changed position.
- Interlocking: An NC or NO path can participate in the documented control logic.
- Mirror contact: Mirror-contact behavior is available where the circuit design calls for it.
- Safety limit: The absence of positively driven contact documentation prevents treating every pole combination as a safety contact set.
