Socket for series 56 96.04SMA

Application and Mounting in Control Cabinets

This socket is designed for mounting relays from the 56 series, particularly model 56.34, making it a key component in industrial control circuits. The device is mounted directly onto a DIN TH-35 mm mounting rail, which is the standard in modern distribution boards. This ensures that connections remain stable and comply with EN 60715 standards. The housing dimensions (82.5 mm height, 43.4 mm width, and 67.2 mm depth) allow for compact arrangement of components within the cabinet, avoiding unnecessary占用 of rail space.

Construction and Connection Method

The socket is equipped with 14 pins, corresponding to the 4-pole (4P) configuration required by dedicated relays. Electrical connections are made via screw terminals – a solution ideal where secure clamping of conductors with larger cross-sections is necessary, or when easy cable replacement is required without specialized spring-crimp tools. The maximum conductor cross-section is 4 mm² for a single core or 2 x 2.5 mm² for two cores in one terminal.

It is worth noting that the design allows the system to be expanded with additional modules, providing flexibility for installation upgrades. The terminals are not detachable from the housing; they are an integral part of the body, increasing the overall structural rigidity and reducing the risk of accidental loosening of connections due to vibrations typical in industrial environments. The housing is made of heat-resistant plastic, with an operating temperature range from -40°C to +70°C, ensuring reliability even under demanding thermal conditions.

Compatibility and Key Features

Selection of this socket is based on its dedicated compatibility with relays from the 56 series (model 56.34) and the standard 14-pin contact configuration. Mounting is performed on a DIN TH-35 mm rail in accordance with EN 60715, and connections are made using screw terminals supporting conductors up to 4 mm² (single) or 2 x 2.5 mm² (dual). The device features system expandability and operates within a wide temperature range from -40°C to +70°C. The blue housing facilitates identification in complex automation installations. Thanks to these features, replacement of a faulty relay is quick and does not require disassembly of the entire wiring system, which is crucial for efficient professional service.
