WAGO 788-516 Relay Module 230 VAC 8A 2CO Gray DIN Rail

The WAGO 788-516 is a relay module with a 230 VAC nominal input voltage and 2 changeover contacts rated for a limiting continuous current of 8 A. Designed for DIN-35 rail mounting, it switches load circuits up to 250 VAC with a 5 kVrms dielectric strength between control and load circuit. At 15 mm wide, it fits efficiently into dense control panel layouts.
