The DCM 010 switch module is a MOSFET-based relay for switching DC loads up to 15 A at voltages between 20 V and 56 V, controlled by a potential-free external contact. It is designed for DIN rail mounting with a plastic housing compliant to UL94 V-0 and rated IP20. The device measures 3.7 in height, 2.1 in width, and 1.7 in depth, weighing 2.3 oz. It supports stranded wire connections up to 2.5 mm² (AWG 12) using 6-pole clamps and has a service life exceeding 100,000 cycles. The operating temperature range for the 01010.0-00 variant is -40 °F to 104 °F. Inrush current is rated at 30 A for 10 seconds, with a power consumption of 1 W. Operating and storage humidity are limited to ≤90 % rH.
The DCM 010 is used to control DC powered devices with high capacities in control and switch cabinets. It is controlled via an external potential-free contact (thermostat or hygrostat), which is connected between terminal 3 and 4. It must be ensured that the external contact is suitable to switch the required signal current without any problems.
