Description
The Brentek DRY5 Dry Contact Output Module is a versatile and reliable device that offers true DRY CONTACT switching of AC/DC signals. It is compatible with industry-standard I/O racks and has an active-low input that is compatible with various driver circuits. The module has zero OFF-state leakage current and employs a high-reliability reed relay with a long cycle life. It can switch both large and small signals, eliminating the need for separate AC and DC modules. The DRY5 has been used in industrial control applications for over 20 years and more information can be found on the manufacturer's website.
The Brentek DRY5 Dry Contact Output Module offers true DRY CONTACT switching of AC/DC large and small signals. It provides direct plug-in compatibility with Industry-standard "Classic" 0.6" I/O racks from Brentek, OPTO 22 (G1), and Grayhill (70). The active-low input is directly compatible with open-collector driver circuits, TTL, and CMOS logic. Operation of these units is logically identical to industry standard SSR output modules (for example OAC5 and ODC5). The DRY5's versatile dry contact output has zero OFF-state leakage current offering direct compatibility to control solid state input circuits. It employs a high-reliability FORM 1A Normally-open reed relay with excellent cycle life (100 million mechanical operations). The dry contact provides very low ON-state resistance, high current switching (1 Amp) and high power factor switching (20VA), so the DRY5 can control both large and small signals, eliminating the need for separate AC and DC module types. For more than 20 years, the DRY5 has proven itself reliable in harsh industrial control applications.
