Allen-Bradley 1762-OW8 /A MicroLogix 8 Channel Relay Output Module

SKU CH-E7WK-FZEXH

Eight-channel relay output module switching 5–265 V AC or 5–125 V DC for MicroLogix systems

  • 8-channel relay output module expands I/O capacity
  • Switches 5–265 V AC or 5–125 V DC loads
  • 2021 date code confirms recent manufacture
  • Supplied new and sealed in original packaging
  • Compatible with MicroLogix 1762 series controllers

Purpose and Fit

The Allen-Bradley 1762-OW8 /A is an eight-channel relay output module designed for MicroLogix programmable controllers. It suits automation engineers who need to switch external AC or DC loads directly from a compact I/O system. The module provides eight independent relay contacts in a single slot.

Upgrade Context

This module replaces a failed or missing output card in an existing MicroLogix chassis. The jump is worth it when the application requires both AC and DC switching capability across multiple channels without adding external interposing relays. It restores full output density for discrete control tasks.

Interface Limits

Each channel handles 5 to 265 volts AC or 5 to 125 volts DC through its relay contacts. The mechanical relay design introduces switching speed limits and finite contact life under heavy inductive loads. Users must ensure the connected load stays within the stated voltage range and consider external suppression for inductive devices.

Questions about this item

What mounting rail does the 1762-OW8 module clip onto?

The module mounts on a standard DIN rail using the built-in latch on its base; no extra bracket is required.

Which step is often missed when wiring the 1762-OW8 output terminals?

A common mistake is forgetting to connect the common terminal for each relay group before applying field power to the output points.

What component will eventually need replacement in the 1762-OW8 module?

The internal mechanical relays are rated for a finite number of switching cycles and will require module replacement after extended use.
