TM3DQ16TK | Schneider Modicon TM3 Compact Output Expansion Module

Product Description

The Schneider TM3DQ16TK is a compact discrete output module from the Modicon TM3 expansion range, designed to extend the output capacity of Modicon M221, M241, M251, and M262 PLCs. It provides 16 transistor outputs (PNP, sourcing logic) operating at 24 VDC, ideal for controlling relays, solenoids, lamps, and other low-power actuators.

This module integrates seamlessly into TM3 expansion systems using HE10 connectors, enabling compact wiring and flexible panel installation. Moreover, fast switching response times and LED diagnostics simplify monitoring and troubleshooting in demanding industrial environments.

With robust isolation between outputs and the bus, the TM3DQ16TK ensures reliable and safe operation, making it perfect for machine automation, packaging, and material handling applications. Its slim design allows efficient use of panel space while delivering high-performance functionality.
