Product Information

Product Family: 3TB42

The Siemens 3TB4212-0A is a three-pole IEC electromagnetic motor contactor from the Siemens 3TB42 product family. It is designed for switching and controlling three-phase AC motors in industrial machinery, motor starter assemblies and control panels. The contactor has a 220 V AC control coil and three main power poles for switching the motor phases.

For a replacement contactor, confirm that the installed control circuit provides a matching 220 V AC coil supply and that the motor application matches the 3TB4212-0A ratings. The device has a 30 A continuous current rating and a maximum operational voltage of 500 V AC. It supports motor loads up to 5 HP at 230 V AC, three-phase, or up to 10 HP at 460 V AC, three-phase. Matching the part number, coil voltage, pole configuration, current rating, motor power and operating voltage helps preserve existing panel wiring where the application conditions are suitable.

The Siemens 3TB4212-0A is a discontinued legacy contactor used for maintaining installed Siemens 3TB42 motor control equipment. When troubleshooting a failed unit, check the control circuit coil supply, the three-phase motor voltage, the current rating and the motor power before fitting a spare. Also confirm that the replacement has the required three-pole configuration and matches the existing motor starter assembly. Repair or exchange of the contactor can be relevant when restoring an existing machine or control panel.

Replacement and Spare Part Considerations

The Siemens 3TB4212-0A is intended for replacement and maintenance of installed Siemens 3TB42 motor starter assemblies and other existing three-phase motor control equipment. Before ordering a spare, compare the part number, 220 V AC coil voltage, three-pole configuration, 30 A current rating, maximum operational voltage and motor power rating with the installed application.

The motor rating is up to 5 HP at 230 V AC, three-phase, or up to 10 HP at 460 V AC, three-phase. A suitable replacement must also match the requirements of the existing control circuit and motor starter assembly. When these specifications match, the replacement can help preserve existing panel wiring and control architecture.

As a discontinued Siemens component, the 3TB4212-0A may be required when maintaining legacy equipment. ABC Industrial Parts can support repair or exchange requirements for installed control equipment where an original replacement contactor is needed.
