This robust Zener barrier from Eaton's MTL range lets you safely establish electrical connections in hazardous areas. It consists of a resistor to limit the incoming current, zener diodes to reroute excess voltage and fuses for short-circuit protection. The energy-efficient unit consumes just 90mA (milliamperes) of current at 24V DC (direct current). It's backwards compatible with older devices in the MTL5000 series for versatility. You can use it with low-power applications such as light-emitting diodes (LED).

• Wide operating temperature range of -20°C to +60°C for use in harsh environments
• Rugged construction, suitable for use in hazardous locations
• Loop-powered operation for easy wiring and energy efficiency

Zener barriers channel excess energy to earth through the fuse and zener diodes, while galvanic isolators provide isolation between the circuits in the hazardous area and those in the safe area, using relays, transformers and optoisolators.

This zener barrier is mounted on a DIN rail for quick and simple installation.
