Allen-Bradley 1769-OB16 Description
Allen-Bradley 1769-OB16 CompactLogix 16-Point 24 V DC Sourcing Digital Output Module is a high-reliability discrete output module designed for the Allen-Bradley CompactLogix and MicroLogix 1500 controller families. Every 1769-OB16 shipped from PLC Hub is sourced from Rockwell Automation authorized channels and is ready for immediate deployment on 1769 Compact I/O chassis.
Reliable Industrial Performance
The 1769-OB16 output module provides 16 sourcing DC outputs that supply current to connected field devices such as relays, contactors, solenoid valves, and indicator lights. Operating from an external 20.4 to 26.4 V DC field supply (24 V DC nominal), each output delivers up to 1.0 A at 30 °C or 0.5 A at 60 °C. The module draws only 200 mA at 5.1 V from the backplane and dissipates no more than 2.11 W of heat, ensuring long-term reliability inside sealed control cabinets and machine-builder panels.
