The MTL5500 Series is the latest generation of MTL intrinsic safety isolators designed to meet the needs of the intrinsic safety (IS) interface market for application focussed projects, from single instrument loops to fully equipped cabinets. Incorporating advanced circuit design and innovative isolating transformer construction these isolators offer explosion protection and help protect electrical signals in hazardous areas ensuring a safe working environment.

DIN-rail mounting and plug-in signal and power connectors simplify installation and maintenance. These IS units are powered from a 20 to 35 V dc supply voltage, or, in some cases, from the signal itself.

The compact 16mm wide design reduces weight and gives a cost-effective high packing density and reduction in power consumption. A wide range of module options includes both single and multiple channel isolation barrier devices. They build on the success of the MTL5000 series to bring the benefits of galvanic isolators with exceptional design and reliability.,II (I) GD (Ex ia) IIC,IECEx, ATEX (Baseefa) FM, CSA

Use this Zener barrier from Eaton MTL with your switches or proximity sensors in hazardous industrial areas. It regulates voltage and current supply to minimise the risk of electrical hazards. The unit can carry two signal loads at once for enhanced efficiency. To boost safety, it has LFD (line fault detection) capability to quickly notify you of any electrical faults in your circuits. You'll find a Zener barrier like this one used in instrumentation and control applications.

• Wide supply voltage range between 20 and 35V DC for versatility
• Maximum current consumption of 90mA at 24V for energy efficiency
• Designed for DIN rail mounting for quick and simple installation
• Backwards compatibility with legacy equipment from the MTL5000 series for added versatility

Yes, it can. Thanks to its operating temperature range of -20°C to +65°C, it's suitable for use in both hot and cold environments.

It has multiple LED indicators that show you its operating status at a glance. Green means it's on, yellow indicates that the output signal is active and red means that a line fault has been detected.
