Weidmüller’s Termopto saves up to 80% space
07 August 2009
In introducing its new TERMOPTO – Terminal Sized Optos – Weidmüller is broadening its assortment of products with a family of 60 optocouplers that feature a compact design and a compelling price-performance ratio.
No bigger than two-tier terminal blocks, TERMOPTO modules have a design width of just six millimetres, which reduces the space required in electrical cabinets by 80 %. The modules have an enclosed housing with IP20 rating and reliably separate the input and output sides. To ensure universal application versatility they have ten different input signals (5…220 VDC, 24…230 VAC) and can optionally be supplied with an AC or DC output (5…48VDC / 0.1A; 5…48VDC / 0.5A; 24…230VAC / 0.1A). Pluggable, standard cross-connectors reduce ground and supply-voltage connection times. Customers are free to choose the connection technology with a choice between screw (clamping yoke) or PUSH IN technologies. PUSH IN reduces wiring times by up to 75%. Suitable for deployment in ambient temperatures from -20° C to +60°C, the optocouplers are equipped with a green LED status indicator and accommodate standard WS12/6 MultiCard markers.
Electrical signal separation requirements have been met to date using terminal blocks to connect signals and relay couplers for separating signals. With TERMOPTO (Terminal Sized Opto) Weidmüller is offering users an interesting, maintenance-free and compact alternative. TERMOPTO is a family of 60 optocouplers. The compelling price-performance ratio is a convincing feature of these compact modules. TERMOPTO modules represent an alternative to relays for separating electrical potentials and have a longer service life in comparison.
Electrically isolated, wear-free semi-conductor switches (optocouplers) with extensive suppressor circuits guarantee high-levels of operating dependability – a guarantor for longevity and reliability. To ensure universal application versatility TERMOPTO modules have ten different input signals (5…220 VDC, 24…230 VAC) and can optionally be supplied with an AC or DC output (5…48VDC / 0.1A; 5…48VDC / 0.5A; 24…230VAC / 0.1A).
They are suitable for deployment in temperatures ranging from -20 °C to +60°C without restriction. For rapid diagnostics the optocouplers are equipped with a green LED for status indication purposes and offer space to accommodate standard WS12/6 MultiCard markers.
