About the Allen-Bradley 1769-OW16

The 1769-OW16 is a CompactLogix 16 point AC/DC relay output module. Its 16 normally open outputs sit in groups of 8 points, working from 5…265V AC and 5…125V DC. It switches up to 2.5 A per point and 20 A per module, with an off delay of 10 ms.

What is the 1769-OW16 used for?

It switches AC or DC loads from a CompactLogix controller through relay contacts. It draws 205 mA at 5.1V and 180 mA at 24V, has a power supply distance of 8 modules, and mounts on DIN rail or panel.

Lifecycle and successor
