Wago 788-304 Industrial Relay with Socket 1P 16A 24V DC Grey

The Wago 788-304 is a professional-grade industrial relay module designed for seamless integration into electrical control systems. This unit comes pre-assembled with a socket, providing a complete solution for switching applications in automation environments. With its 1P configuration and 16A current rating, it is engineered to handle demanding electrical loads while maintaining operational stability. The compact grey housing is optimized for space-saving installation on standard DIN-rails, making it a reliable choice for modern industrial control panels.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this relay module is its robust construction, which ensures consistent performance even in intensive industrial settings. By including the socket, the unit simplifies the installation process, reducing wiring time and potential connection errors. Its 24V DC operating voltage is standard for many automation systems, allowing for easy compatibility with existing controllers and PLC outputs. The compact design allows for high-density mounting, maximizing the utility of available space within control cabinets.

Suitable for

• Industrial automation control panels
• Signal switching in electrical systems
• Power management for small to medium loads
• Integration with PLC output modules

This relay may not be suitable for high-voltage AC switching applications exceeding its specified ratings. It is also not intended for use in environments with extreme moisture or corrosive gases, as the standard housing does not provide specialized environmental sealing for such conditions.

• Current rating: 16A
• Operating voltage: 24V DC
• Mounting type: DIN-rail
• Dimensions: 15 x 86 x 54 mm
• Weight: 45.918 g
• Colour: Grey

How to use

To install the Wago 788-304, snap the socket onto a standard DIN-rail until it clicks securely into place. Connect the control wiring to the designated input terminals and the load wiring to the output terminals according to the circuit diagram. Ensure that the power supply matches the 24V DC requirement before energizing the system. Once installed, the relay operates automatically based on the control signal received from your automation controller.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your control system provides a 24V DC output.
• Ensure the load current does not exceed the 16A limit.
• Check available space on your DIN-rail to accommodate the 15mm width.
• Confirm that the operating environment is dry and within standard industrial temperature ranges.

Usage recommendations

Always disconnect the main power supply before performing any wiring or maintenance on the relay module to prevent electrical hazards. Ensure all terminal connections are tightened correctly to avoid overheating during operation.
