AutomationDirect ZL-RTB20-1 Remote Terminal Breakout Block

ZIPLink reduced-width feedthrough module ZL-RTB20-1 is a 24-pole remote terminal breakout block designed for AutomationDirect ZIPLink systems. It mounts to a DIN rail and provides a compact 24-position terminal block to route field wiring from ZIPLink I/O cables. The unit uses a Molex Micro-Fit 3.0 24-pin connector to mate with ZIPLink cables, enabling a tidy, compact interface between the PLC I/O and field wiring. It accepts 12–24 AWG solid or stranded copper conductors, with copper alloy contacts tin-lead plated for durability. Weighing about 114 g (4.0 oz), the ZL-RTB20-1 is UL 508 listed (E139594) and CE (EN61131-2) compliant, meeting common industrial safety and compatibility standards. The reduced-width housing maximizes DIN rail density, making it well suited for compact control panels that require wiring for 24 signals in a small footprint. Typical applications include connecting sensors, actuators, and field devices to ZIPLink-enabled PLCs, providing a dedicated 24-terminal interface that simplifies wiring, testing, and maintenance in automation installations.
