PLC Interface single- and double-pole relays, and opto-couplers, having the same profile. This allows the modules to be installed in any configuration with a common bridging system and using the same accessories. The V8 adapter connects 8 relays or opto-couplers to a 15 way D-SUB cable.

• Relays and opto-couplers for inputs and outputs with "pluggable" switching devices
• Four bridging slots to reduce wiring; bridging of up to 80 modules is possible
• Screw terminal connections
• LED indicators and diodes for coil suppression
• 250V versions have a switched power rating of 1500VA
• Mechanical life (relays) 1 x 107 operations
• Wide range of accessories also available

This solid state relay from Phoenix Contact automatically opens and closes a set of contacts between two electrical circuits. It converts an electrical control signal into an optical output, which is then sent on to another component to trigger an action. You'll find devices like this one used in robotics and motor control applications.
The unit is long-lasting as it has no moving parts and mechanical wear is minimal. A typical response time of 6ms means it reacts almost instantly, so it helps to keep your system running smoothly. Insulation provides protection against electric shocks and also reduces the chance of the device interfering with nearby electronic components.
As this relay resists shock and vibration, it's suitable to use in moving applications like those found in the automotive industry. It needs minimal space in a control cabinet, thanks to its compact dimensions of 28 (H) x 5 (W) x 15mm (D).

• Broad operating temperature range of -25°C to +60°C for use in challenging settings
• Wash-proof, so it's able to withstand cleaning in hygienic environments
• Mountable in any position to best suit your application's needs
• Meets EN 50178 safety standards for electronic equipment used in power installations
