Schneider Electric TM3DQ16R Relay Output Module

Schneider Electric TM3DQ16R is a 16-channel discrete output module for Modicon TM3 PLCs, providing 16 normally open relay outputs for direct switching of external equipment. This expansion module plugs into the TM3 I/O rack to extend digital output capability and is offered in two terminal variants: the screw-terminal TM3DQ16R and the spring-terminal TM3DQ16RG. Each of the 16 outputs is rated up to 2 A and can switch loads at 24 V DC or 240 VAC, with a maximum of 8 A allowed on a common line and a maximum of 2 A per individual output. The 2 A per-output rating makes it suitable for driving moderate-load devices such as solenoids, indicator lights, small contactors, or relays, while still benefiting from Schneider's TM3 rugged, field-wiring-friendly design. The module's relays are discrete NO contacts, and the design emphasizes straightforward wiring with removable terminal blocks for easier field maintenance. This TM3 relay output module is ideal for automation panels that require additional discrete outputs without replacing the existing CPU or I/O backplane, enabling scalable control of peripheral devices in manufacturing, packaging, or process applications.
