Foxboro FBM242 P0916NG Switch Terminal Block

Product Type: 2-layer compressed terminal block assembly.

Compatible Module: Specifically designed for the Foxboro FBM242 discrete output module to enable connection between the module and external circuits.

Origin: France.

Dimensions: Approximately 1.25 in × 1.25 in × 0.5 in (3.175 cm × 3.175 cm × 1.27 cm).

Weight: 0.125 lb (approximately 56.7 g).

Wire Gauge: Suitable for 24-gauge copper wires.

Operating Temperature: -40°C to 125°C.

Storage Temperature: -55°C to 150°C.

Electrical Connection: Provides electrical connections for the 16 discrete output channels of the FBM242 module, transmitting the module's output signals to external loads such as relays and solenoid valves. Each output channel is fully isolated from other channels and ground, effectively preventing signal interference and the spread of electrical faults to enhance system stability and reliability.

High Current-Carrying Capacity: With a rated current of up to 2A at 60V DC, it meets the driving requirements of many industrial field devices.

Connection Method: Adopts a 2-layer compressed connection method to ensure secure and reliable connections for 24-gauge copper wires. This method ensures good contact between the wire and terminals, reducing contact resistance and the possibility of heat generation and signal attenuation.

Material and Durability: Manufactured from high-quality materials, it features excellent durability and corrosion resistance, withstanding harsh industrial environments (e.g., high temperature, humidity, dust) to ensure long-term stable operation.

Easy Installation: With a compact design, it is easy to install and maintain, saving installation space and time. It can be conveniently mounted on DIN rails, suitable for standardized installation in industrial control cabinets.

Signal Transmission: The FBM242 module receives digital signals from the control processor and converts them into electrical signals suitable for external loads through internal circuits. The P0916NG terminal block assembly then transmits these signals from the module to external loads, enabling the loads to act according to control signals (e.g., relay actuation or solenoid valve opening/closing).

Electrical Isolation: Uses isolation technologies (such as optocoupler isolation or transformer isolation) to separate the output circuit of the FBM242 module from external circuits. This prevents interference signals in external circuits from entering the module and avoids internal module signals from affecting external circuits, improving system anti-interference capability and safety.

Fault Protection: Equipped with fault protection functions (e.g., overcurrent protection and short-circuit protection). When external loads experience overcurrent or short-circuit conditions, the terminal block assembly automatically cuts off the circuit to protect the FBM242 module and other devices from damage, while also prompting operators of faults via indicator lights or other means.

Power Systems: Used in control systems for power plants, substations, etc., to control and monitor switchgear, relays, and other devices.

Manufacturing: Applied in automated production lines of industries such as automotive manufacturing, machining, and electronics manufacturing to control various field devices like robots, conveyor belts, and pneumatic equipment.

Chemical and Petroleum Industries: Used for valve control, pump start/stop control in chemical production processes, and control of various equipment in oil extraction and refining.

Other Fields: Widely used in control systems of industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and water treatment to achieve precise control and monitoring of production processes.
