The Phoenix PLC-BSC-24DC/1IC/ACT belongs to the versatile PLC-INTERFACE family and is engineered for demanding industrial automation environments. This Relay Socket supports 24 V DC nominal input voltage and features an integrated freewheeling diode for back-EMF protection, ensuring stable operation during inductive load switching. It uses a proven M3 screw connection method, accepting rigid and flexible conductors from 0.14 mmΒ² to 2.5 mmΒ² and AWG 26 to 14, providing strong and secure wire termination. The compact housing measures 14 mm in width and 80 mm in height, making it ideal for tight DIN rail installations. Built with UL 94 V0-rated flame-retardant gray housing (RAL 7042), the unit operates reliably across ambient temperatures of -40β―Β°C to +60β―Β°C. Its yellow LED status display enhances real-time diagnostics, while the socketβs electrical safety is reinforced by safe reinforced insulation, 250 V AC rated insulation voltage, 6 kV surge protection, and compliance with EN 50178 and EMC/Low Voltage Directives.
Designed specifically for circuits with high inrush currents, the PLC-BSC-24DC/1IC/ACT is ideal for switching inductive loads such as solenoids, motor coils, and relay banks in automation control systems. It pairs seamlessly with miniature relays like REL-MR-24DC/1IC/ACT and optocouplers such as OPT-24DC/230AC/2, offering reliable performance in signal interfacing and protection circuits. Maintenance engineers favor this relay base for its easy DIN rail mounting and tool-friendly screw terminals that ensure consistent connections during replacements. For engineering students and junior technicians, the LED feedback and wiring layout provide excellent practical learning experience in safe circuit handling. OEM panel builders appreciate its robust design, global compliance, and compatibility with Phoenixβs modular relay systems. This socket supports flexible installation orientation and is suitable for use in process plants, machine automation, HVAC control panels, and electrical substations where current peaks are common.
