Realy and Optocoupler Modules

Brief Current Peaks – Fatal Consequences

When lighting systems are switched on, significant current peaks occur that reach more than 100 times the rated current. Even if this peak lasts for just a few milliseconds, it can cause the relay contacts to fuse. Learn here how our relays operate to get the most out of your systems over a long service life.

This combination of rail-mount terminal blocks and relay modules saves the user an extra wiring level. Incredibly robust, the 2042 Series Modules withstand high vibration and shock loads, and meet both DIN EN 61373 (vibration and shock) and DIN EN 50121-3-2 (EMC) railway standard requirements.

• ▪Pluggable for WAGO Rail-Mount Terminal Blocks TOPJOB® S
• ▪Input voltage ranges from 16.8 V to 253 V
• ▪Designed for a temperature range of −40°C to +70°C
• ▪Ideal for railway and industrial applications thanks to EN 50155 and EN 61010 (safety regulations for electronic devices)

DIN-Rail-Mount Carriers with a Miniature Switching Relay (287/288 Series)

WAGO's fully wired DIN-rail-mount carriers with a miniature switching relay (287/288 Series) provide direct, in-the-field switching of actuators and other coupling elements. They also permit fast and easy peripheral signal connections.

• ▪Faster and easier connection of peripheral signals
• ▪Pluggable relays for rapid and simple replacement
• ▪Easily connect conductors ranging from 0.08 to 2.5 mm2 (28–14 AWG)

Relay Modules in a DIN-Rail-Mount Enclosure(789 Series)

WAGO's 789 Series Relay Modules serve a wide variety of applications, from basic lighting control in building installations to industrial control cabinet installations. Just 17.5 mm (0.689 inch) wide, the compact DIN-rail-mount enclosure is ideal for distribution boards and meter cabinets.

Sockets with an Industrial Relay (858 Series)

WAGO's DIN-35-rail-mount 858 Series Relay Sockets are designed for conventional industrial relays with standard pin spacing. These sockets carry relays equipped with two or four changeover contacts. During maintenance, they allow quick relay replacement without removing conductors.

• ▪Push-in termination of solid and ferruled conductors from 0.5 mm2 (20 AWG)
• ▪Dual conductor entries with Push-In CAGE CLAMP® connection technology
• ▪Manual operation in case of failure or during commissioning
• ▪Relay status indicator to stay updated visually
• ▪Relays with gold contacts for dry switching circuits

Maximize Space in the Control Cabinet

Maximizing the limited space available is the primary goal in control cabinet manufacturing. WAGO's new solid-state relay module (SSR module) can help: It switches a limiting continuous current up to 8 A. Due to low power loss, significantly less heat is generated. Thus, with the same total power loss, a higher packing density, i.e. a larger number of switching elements, can be realized in the control cabinet. SSR modules are ideal for applications where a coupling level between the PLC and the load to be switched is required. Because they work without moving parts, there is no mechanical wear. As a result, they achieve a long service life, switch noiselessly and are unaffected by shock and vibration. WAGO's SSR modules use sockets that are pin-compatible with standard relays. This greatly simplifies relay replacement.

• ▪New SSR module now switches loads up to 8 A.
• ▪Lower power dissipation reduces heat generation and allows for higher packing density.
