Weidmüller TOZ 24VDC 24VDC 5A Transoptor

The Weidmüller TOZ 24VDC 24VDC 5A is a high-performance solid-state relay module engineered for seamless signal switching within industrial automation environments. This compact device facilitates the reliable control of electrical loads by providing robust galvanic isolation between the input and output circuits. Designed for longevity and precision, it serves as a critical interface component in modern control cabinets where space efficiency and operational stability are paramount.

Advantages

This solid-state relay offers significant benefits due to its lack of moving mechanical parts, which results in a much longer service life compared to traditional electromechanical relays. The module provides high-speed switching capabilities, making it ideal for applications requiring frequent operations. Furthermore, its compact design allows for high-density mounting on standard DIN rails, optimizing space within control panels while maintaining excellent thermal management and electrical protection.

Suitable for

• Industrial automation and control systems
• Switching of DC loads in PLC-based applications
• Galvanic isolation of sensitive control signals
• High-frequency switching tasks
• Space-constrained electrical cabinets

When it may not be suitable

This module is specifically designed for 24VDC applications and cannot be used with AC voltage circuits. It is not intended for high-power industrial motor switching that exceeds the 5A current rating or for environments where extreme electromagnetic interference might affect the solid-state switching components.

Key specifications

• Input voltage: 24VDC
• Output voltage: 24VDC
• Maximum switching current: 5A
• Technology: Solid-state relay (transoptor)
• Mounting type: DIN rail

How to use

The module is designed for quick and easy installation onto a standard DIN rail. Begin by ensuring the power supply is disconnected. Snap the unit onto the rail and connect the 24VDC control signal to the input terminals, observing the correct polarity. Connect the load to the output terminals, ensuring that the load current does not exceed the 5A limit. Once all connections are verified for tightness and polarity, the system can be energized for operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your control signal is strictly 24VDC
• Ensure the load current does not exceed 5A
• Check available space on your DIN rail
• Confirm compatibility with your existing PLC or controller output

Usage recommendations

To ensure optimal performance and longevity, always verify that the load is protected against voltage spikes and that the ambient temperature remains within the manufacturer's specified operating range. Regular inspection of terminal connections is recommended to maintain low contact resistance.
