Murrelektronik has now added two new modules for electronic overcurrent protection to the Mico product family. An IP67 protection class makes these modules ideal for applications where a large number of sensors and actuators with similar requirements are protected. An M12 L-coded connector supplies the modules with a current of up to 16 A, which can also be transmitted in some variants. Each module is equipped with 4x M12 A-coded NEC Class 2 ports with 2 A or 4 A protection, depending on the variant. This paves the way for completely new installation concepts to create power supply solutions.
Requiring no pre-assembly, the modules also boast a temperature-resistant and highly compact design. LEDs display the operating status of each port and flash to indicate when a 90 percent load is reached. In the case of overloading or a short-circuit, the LEDs flash red and Mico67 immediately shuts down the relevant port. Disconnecting the input voltage makes a reset easy.
