Product Description

The IDEC FC6A-R081 is an 8-point relay output expansion module designed for the FC6A MicroSmart PLC series. Operating on a 24V DC supply, it provides eight Form C (SPDT) relay outputs, each capable of switching up to 2A at 240V AC or 30V DC. The module features screw-type terminals with a 5.08 mm pitch for secure and reliable connections. With an IP20 ingress protection rating, it is suitable for use in dry environments within control panels. The FC6A-R081 is ideal for applications requiring additional relay outputs to control external devices such as motors, lights, or alarms.​
