TM3DQ16T 16-Channel Transistor Output Module PNP 0.5A Screw | Schneider Electric

The Original New Schneider Electric TM3DQ16T is a 16-channel discrete output module for the Modicon TM3 I/O system, designed to expand the digital output capacity of Modicon M221, M241, M251, and M262 logic controllers. It provides 16 transistor outputs with source (PNP, positive) logic for 24V DC loads at 0.5A per channel. A removable screw terminal block ensures secure field wiring. Part of the Modicon TM3 expansion family, it features a simple interlocking assembly mechanism for quick DIN rail mounting.

Core Engineering Highlights:
16 PNP transistor outputs (source logic) | 24V DC, 0.5A per channel | 2 groups of 8 outputs with shared common | 450 µs turn-on / 450 µs turn-off response time | 0.4 V max voltage drop | 0.1 mA max leakage current | 500V AC isolation (output to internal logic) | Short-circuit and reverse polarity protection | Auto‑reset after overload | Removable screw terminal block (3.81 mm pitch)
