G4OAC5A and G4OAC5AMA

DESCRIPTION Modules

Opto 22’s G4 AC output modules are used to control or switch AC

loads. Each module provides up to 4000 volts of optical isolation
(transient) between field outputs and the control side of the circuit,
and each features zero voltage turn-on and zero current turn-off.
All AC output modules are equivalent to single-pole, single-throw,
normally open contacts (Form A, SPST-NO) except the G4OAC5A5,
which is equivalent to a single-pole, single-throw, normally closed
contact (Form B, SPST-NC). Part Numbers
Each module is equipped with a 4 amp fast-blow fuse. The fuse Part Description
