Key parameters
Supply
20 to 35 V DC (separately powered modules); some loop-powered models
Mounting
T-section 35 mm DIN rail (7.5 or 15 mm) to EN 50022; about 16 mm module pitch
Type
MTL5500 DIN-rail intrinsically safe galvanic isolator range (application-focused IS interfaces)
Isolation
3-port isolation; MTL5500 250 V rms between safe-area circuits and power supply
Connectors
Plug-in safe-/hazardous-area signal connectors and power plug; up to 2.5 mm2 conductors
Functions
DI/DO, analogue I/O, temperature converters, solenoid/alarm drivers, pulse, fire/smoke, vibration probe interfaces (model-dependent)
Fits DIN-rail IS interfacing where you need MTL Instruments MTL 5500 isolators. Application-focused intrinsically safe galvanic isolator range on top-hat DIN rail (EN 50022), about 16 mm module pitch, supply 20 to 35 V DC for separately powered modules (some loop-powered), 3-port isolation with 250 V rms between safe-area circuits and power supply, plug-in connectors to 2.5 mm², and operating −20 to +60 °C.
Key advantages
- Mount — DIN-rail ~16 mm pitch
- Supply — 20–35 V DC (sep. powered)
- Isolation — 3-port; 250 V rms class
- Functions — DI/DO, AI/AO, temp, pulse, more
- Ambient — −20 to +60 °C
Typical applications
- DIN-rail IS marshalling.
- Analogue / discrete IS I/O.
- Solenoid and alarm drivers.
Selection guide
- Function code
- Loop vs separately powered
- 5500 vs backplane 4500
Common mistakes
- Wrong rail depth.
- Supply outside 20–35 V DC.
- Ignoring EMC supply hold-up.
When to RFQ / what to tell us
- Module types/qty.
- Ship-to.
