Phoenix Contact PLC Output Relay (24V DC, 6A, 1 PDT)
The 2966171 Phoenix Contact PLC Output Relay is a high-performance, compact, and highly reliable switching device designed for use in industrial control systems, particularly in applications such as motor control centers (like "motor control center 1") and conveyor backup starters. This relay system comprises a robust base terminal block (PLC-BSC.../21) with secure screw connections and a pluggable miniature relay with a power contact.
Operating with a nominal input voltage of 24V DC, this relay is ideal for integration into common low-voltage DC control circuits. It boasts a limiting continuous current of 6 Amperes, making it suitable for controlling various loads. The relay features a 1 PDT (Single Pole Double Throw) contact type with AgSnO contact material, allowing for flexible switching configurations (normally open and normally closed functionality from a single contact). It has a typical response time of 5 ms and a typical release time of 8 ms, ensuring rapid and precise switching.
Designed for efficiency and ease of installation, the 2966171 has a slim design (6.2 mm width) and is intended for assembly on a DIN rail (NS 35/7.5). It supports efficient connection to system cabling via an optional V8 adapter and offers functional plug-in bridges for easy potential distribution. Key safety features include safe isolation according to DIN EN 50178 between the coil and contact, integrated input and interference suppression circuits, and reverse polarity protection.
The relay operates reliably across a wide ambient temperature range of -40°C to 60°C (-40°F to 140°F) and maintains performance with a mechanical service life of 2 x 10^7 cycles. It is extensively certified (UL Listed, CUL, IEC, EN, etc.), ensuring its compliance with global safety and performance standards.
