1769-OW16 16-Point Relay Output Module AC/DC | Allen-Bradley

The Original New Allen-Bradley 1769-OW16 16-Point Relay Output Module is a CompactLogix digital output device designed for switching AC or DC loads in distributed industrial automation systems. Featuring 16 normally open relay outputs arranged in two isolated groups of eight, this module allows mixing both AC and DC loads on a single module. Fully compatible with CompactLogix controllers and MicroLogix 1500 expansion assemblies, it delivers reliable output control for contactors, solenoids, valves, motors, and indicator lights.

Core Engineering Highlights:
16 relay outputs (Form A, normally open) | 5-265V AC / 5-125V DC output range | 2 isolated groups of 8 points | 205 mA @ 5.1V / 180 mA @ 24V backplane current | 10 ms signal delay | C-UL certified Class I Div 2 | 0-60°C operating temperature
