Rail-mounting universal supply saves panel space
Only 22.5mm wide, the new rail-mounting Mini-PS power supply from Phoenix Contact offers big savings in valuable panel space.
For applications requiring the highest possible switching capacity in a compact interface, the DEK range includes a unique high-power FET-output version rated to switch up to10A at 24V DC.
With a maximum operating frequency of 100Hz for resistive loads, this unit is an ideal choice for applications involving frequent switching of large DC loads.
Also available are economical 3A, 24V DC DEK terminals, and triac-output versions which can switch 0.8A at any 50/60Hz AC voltage from 10 to 235V.
All models offer isolation rated at 2.5kV between input and output circuits, and AC models are designed to provide zero voltage switching, which reduces the level of transients generated by the switching operation.
To facilitate commissioning and fault-finding, DEK optoisolated interface terminals from Phoenix Contact incorporate a status LED which clearly shows when the input circuit is energised.
The units also feature comprehensive protection for the output circuits, against the effects of voltage transients and, in the case of DC models, polarity reversal.
To further simplify installation and use, DEK interface terminals are compatible with standard Phoenix Contact terminal marking systems, and with jumper elements which greatly reduce the wiring time required to make common connections to groups of terminals.
