Allen-Bradley 1762-OW16 16-Point Relay Output Module

The Allen-Bradley 1762-OW16 is a 16-point relay output module for MicroLogix controllers that switches AC or DC field loads with individually isolated normally open relay contacts. Each of the 16 outputs delivers 2.0 A per point (resistive) at 5–265 V AC or 5–125 V DC, and it supports DIN rail or panel mounting in space-constrained control panels. Compatible with MicroLogix 1100/1200/1400, this module enables direct control of motors, solenoids, valves, signaling devices, alarms, and lighting circuits while maintaining electrical isolation between the PLC and field devices. It is commonly used in packaging machines, conveyors, assembly equipment, and standalone production cells, and is valuable for expansion, retrofit projects, or emergency replacements to maintain MicroLogix-based automation with minimal downtime. Common cross-references include Allen-Bradley 1762-OB16, 1762-OW8, and 1769-OW16.
