Safety relays by WAGO are perfect for automation switching tasks

The 788 safety relay by WAGO

Machine safety should always be a high priority in manufacturing operations, and Wainbee Limited offers an impressive range of industrial products for this function. For example, the supplier offers safety relays in the 788 relay series by WAGO Corporation. These are 15-millimetre (mm), wide-socket-style, pluggable PCB relay with force guided C that are perfect for switching applications in both industrial and process automation, as they offer an excellent, cost-efficient platform for these tasks.

Fast, simple replacement

The 788 relay modules can be used either with two channels or for switching higher loads – such as lamp loads – reliably for up to 16 A and 250 volts of switching power. Each unit has a robust, easy-to-use lever that enables fast, simple elementary relay replacement if needed. Among the other key features and benefits of the 788 series: its compact housing, which is only 15 mm wide; the commoning options on both control and load sides; a DIN-35 rail mount; a pluggable LED indicator; integrated test ports; and marking options.

The 788 series of safety relays with driven contacts, also offers tool-free connection with the help of a Push-in Cage Clamp. This clamp is vibration-proof, fast, and maintenance-free, and it is built for handling all kinds of conductors, including solid, stranded, and ferruled.
