Allen-Bradley 80026-044-06-R connecting terminal

Allen-Bradley 80026-044-06-R Technical Overview

1. General Description

The 80026-044-06-R appears to be a configurable terminal block or power distribution module designed for industrial control panels and automation systems. These components are used to simplify wiring, distribute power, and interface with controllers (e.g., PLCs), sensors, or actuators. The “044-06-R” suffix likely indicates its configuration (voltage, pin count, or relay integration), and the “R” may denote a relay or ruggedized version.

2. Key Technical Specifications

• Electrical Ratings:
  • Voltage: Typically rated for 24V DC or 120–240V AC (common in industrial control circuits).
  • Current: 5–10A per terminal (varies based on application and safety standards).
• Terminal Configuration:
  • Number of Poles: Likely 6–12 terminals (depends on “044” designation).
  • Connection Type: Screw terminals or spring-clamp connectors for easy wiring.
  • Isolation: Reinforced isolation between channels for safety (e.g., 4kV).
• Environmental Ratings:
  • Operating Temperature: -20°C to +70°C (-4°F to +158°F).
  • Ingress Protection: IP20 (standard) or higher for enclosed variants.
• Mechanical Design:
  • DIN rail mounting (TS35 compliant).
  • Compact, modular design for integration into control cabinets.
• Safety Certifications:
  • UL Listed, CE Marked, and compliant with IEC 61131-2 for industrial control equipment.

3. Functional Capabilities

1. Power Distribution:
   • Distributes 24V DC power to sensors, relays, or PLC I/O modules within a control panel.
   • Supports daisy-chaining for simplified wiring.
2. Signal Conditioning:
   • May include fused terminals or surge protection for sensitive electronics.
   • Optional relay integration (if the “R” suffix indicates relay contacts).
3. Flexibility:
   • Configurable for different voltage/current requirements via jumper settings or replaceable fuse cartridges.
   • Compatible with Allen-Bradley’s Bulletin 800 series components for modular expansion.
4. Diagnostics:
   • Visual indicators (LEDs) for power status or fault conditions (e.g., blown fuse).

4. Applications

• Control Panels: Centralized power distribution for PLCs, HMIs, and safety circuits.
• Motor Control Centers (MCCs): Interface between PLCs and motor starters/contactors.
• Process Automation: Signal routing for sensors, valves, and actuators.

5. Ordering Information

• Model: 80026-044-06-R (verify with Rockwell Automation for exact configuration).
• Accessories: Fuses (e.g., 80026-FUSE), DIN rail clips, or relay modules.

Notes and Considerations

• The “044-06-R” suffix may specify: 
  • 044: Terminal count or voltage range.
  • 06: Number of circuits or fuse slots.
  • R: Relay integration or ruggedized design.
• Always confirm wiring diagrams and compatibility with upstream/downstream devices.
