Information About 1762-OW16

The 1762-OW16 is part of the Allen-Bradley MicroLogix 1200 series expansion modules, compatible with MicroLogix 1100, 1200, and 1400 controllers. It contains 16 relay outputs divided into two groups of 8 channels each, with each point rated for up to 2.5 A continuous current. The module supports a maximum of 8 A per common and 16 A total per module. It features an on/off signal delay of 10 ms and is designed for inductive, resistive, and mixed loads, with surge suppressors recommended for extended relay contact life. The unit draws 140 mA at 5 VDC and 180 mA at 24 VDC from the bus, with a maximum power dissipation of 6.1 W. The module is IP20 rated, mounts via DIN rail or panel, and supports installation of up to 4, 6, or 7 modules depending on the MicroLogix controller type. With dimensions of 90 × 40.4 × 87 mm (110 mm including mounting tabs) and a weight of 0.63 lb, it is compact yet robust for industrial use. Certified for Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations, it ensures safe and reliable performance in demanding environments.
