Important: The 20 A rating is the performance capacity of the solid-state relay. The actual permitted rated operational current depends on the connection method, heatsink, and cooling conditions. A suitable heatsink is required to achieve the full 20 A rating. The minimum load current is 100 mA—loads drawing less than this may not switch reliably .

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the Siemens 3RF2120-1AA04?
It is a single-phase SIRIUS 3RF2 solid-state relay with a 20 A rating, 48–460 V AC operating voltage, and 15–24 V DC control signal. It uses zero-point switching and screw terminals for wear-free, noiseless load switching .
Q2: Does this device require a heatsink?
Yes. The 20 A rating is the performance capacity. The actual permitted operational current depends on the heatsink and cooling conditions. A suitable heatsink must be used to achieve the full rating. Without adequate cooling, the permissible current is significantly lower .
Q3: What is zero-point switching?
Zero-point switching means the device turns on when the AC voltage crosses zero. This minimizes inrush current and electrical noise, extending the life of resistive loads such as heaters .
Q4: What is the control voltage for this variant?
The 1AA04 variant uses a 15–24 V DC control signal. For an AC control variant, see the 1AA24 model .
Q5: What is the minimum load current?
The minimum load current is 100 mA. Loads drawing less than this may not switch reliably .
Q6: Can I use this for inductive loads?
Yes. The device is designed for switching resistive and inductive loads, such as valves and solenoids. The zero-point switching helps reduce stress on inductive loads .
Q7: What is the power loss at rated current?
The power loss is 28.6 W at the rated current in hot operating condition. This heat must be dissipated by the heatsink .
Q8: What are the dimensions and weight?
Dimensions are 22.5 × 85 × 48 mm (W × H × D). Net weight is 0.076 kg .
Q9: What is the country of origin?
Germany (DE) .
Q10: What should I verify before ordering?
Always verify the exact part number (3RF2120-1AA04 for 15–24 V DC control), confirm your load current and voltage are within the 20 A / 48–460 V AC range, ensure you have a suitable heatsink for your required current, and check whether you need the AC control variant (1AA24) or instantaneous switching variant (1BA04) for your application.
