NEW ARRIVAL: Siemens SENTRON 3VA9988-0AA12 Auxiliary Switch Now Available
Model Description
We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of the Siemens SENTRON 3VA9988-0AA12 auxiliary switch changeover contacts, a compact 7mm-wide accessory engineered for 3VA1 and 3VA20-26 molded case circuit breakers. This HQ-type switch provides changeover contacts (1NO/1NC) in a slim, side-mount design that integrates seamlessly into the breaker accessory slot without increasing panel depth. The unit measures 56×7×30mm and weighs only 28g, making it ideal for space-constrained switchboards, control panels and OEM skid assemblies where reliable status signalling is required. The switch is powered directly by the breaker mechanism and draws no additional supply current, simplifying wiring and reducing installation time .

Key Features
The 3VA9988-0AA12 delivers robust electrical performance with 4kV impulse withstand and Pollution Degree 3 / Overvoltage Category III certification, ensuring reliable operation in harsh industrial environments. The switch handles thermal current up to 6A with full AC-12 (6A @ 240V AC) and DC-12 (6A @ 24V DC) ratings, while maintaining 3A AC-15 and 0.8A DC-13 switching capacity for inductive loads. Screw-type terminals accept conductors from 0.5–1.5mm² (AWG 20–16) with tightening torque 0.4–0.5N·m, ensuring secure connections that resist vibration. The unit operates reliably across –20°C to +70°C ambient range and carries CE, cULus, CCC, EAC and RoHS approvals (since June 2012), guaranteeing worldwide acceptance in utility, marine and industrial applications .
