Allen-Bradley 1769-OW16 CompactLogix 16-Point Relay Output Module

Product Overview

The 1769-OW16 is a high-density electromechanical relay expansion module designed for Allen-Bradley CompactLogix and MicroLogix 1500 systems. It features 16 normally open (N.O.) contacts, providing a versatile interface for switching both AC and DC loads. The module is engineered with two isolated groups of eight points, allowing for the simultaneous control of multiple circuits with different voltage potentials or phases. Its mechanical design ensures zero off-state leakage current, which is a critical requirement for safety interlocks, pilot lights, and high-impedance loads that might otherwise be sensitive to solid-state leakage.
