Product Description:

The B & R Automation MCE16A-0 is a safe and powerful electromechanical relay. It belongs to the DI Digital Input PLC Modules series. An electromechanical relay (also called an electromagnetic switch) is a switch in which an electrical signal mechanically opens and closes one or more sets of electrical contacts. This relay has a DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) type of contact configuration, which enables the relay to switch two different circuits simultaneously. Designed with a 24 VDC coil, the relay supports contact loads of up to 16 amps, making it suitable for managing various electrical systems commonly found in industrial settings.

This module is designed to deliver both high performance and long-lasting durability. It ensures electrical safety and dependable performance by maintaining an insulation resistance of at least 100 M? when tested at 500 VDC. Its contact voltage rating is 250 VAC or 30 VDC, which makes it versatile, and it can be used in both AC and DC applications. Silver alloy is used as a contact material characterized by superior conductivity and long-lasting performance. The power consumed by the coil is minimal, approximately 0.9 watts, which assists in conserving electricity.

The MCE16A-0 is easy to integrate into various systems because they are designed to be mounted on a panel or a DIN rail. Designed for longevity, it can withstand more than 10 million mechanical cycles and over 100,000 electrical operations, which shows its robust and reliable construction. Its relay protection rating is IP 40, meaning that it is protected against large solid bodies greater than 1 mm. In general, the MCE16A-0 is a reliable and effective relay module that fits well in an industrial automation and control system.
