Phoenix Contact PLC Output Relay (24V AC/DC, 6A)
The 2966184 Phoenix Contact PLC Output Relay is a versatile and compact switching device (Phoenix Contact PLC-RSC- 24UC/21), specifically designed for industrial control applications. It is commonly used in systems such as the Motor Control Center for vacuums at wash sites, providing reliable power switching.
This relay stands out due to its universal control voltage of 24V AC/DC, allowing for flexible integration into various control circuits, whether AC or DC powered. It delivers a limiting continuous current of 6 Amperes, suitable for controlling a range of loads. The relay module consists of a durable base terminal block with secure M3 screw connections and a pluggable miniature relay with a power contact.
Key features include a 1 PDT (Single Pole Double Throw) contact type with AgSnO contact material, offering versatile switching capabilities. It has a typical response time of 6 ms and a typical release time of 15 ms, ensuring efficient and timely operation. The relay is equipped with a yellow LED indicator for visual status feedback.
Designed for space efficiency and ease of installation, the 2966184 relay boasts a slim design (6.2 mm width) and is intended for DIN rail assembly (NS 35/7.5). It supports efficient connection to system cabling through an optional V8 adapter and includes functional plug-in bridges for streamlined wiring. It offers IP20 protection (relay base) against solid objects.
Safety and reliability are paramount, with features such as safe isolation according to DIN EN 50178 between the coil and contact, integrated input and interference suppression circuits, and a bridge rectifier for AC/DC input. It operates effectively within an ambient temperature range of -40°C to 60°C (-40°F to 140°F) and has a mechanical service life of 2 x 10^7 cycles. This relay is extensively certified, including UL and CUL listings, ensuring compliance with rigorous safety and performance standards.
