ZIPLINK Automation Direct ZL-RFU20 Remote Fuse MDL 20 PIN 250 VAC 75 VDC ZLRFU20

Description:

The ZIPLINK AutomationDirect ZL-RFU20 Remote Fuse Module is used in PLC wiring systems to provide circuit protection for output devices through fused connections. Commonly installed in control panels, automation systems, and industrial machinery requiring organized and protected I/O wiring. Maintenance teams, electricians, and automation engineers use this module for installation, retrofit, or replacement to safeguard circuits and simplify troubleshooting.

Applications:

The ZL-RFU20 is widely used in industrial automation environments such as manufacturing lines, conveyor systems, and machine control panels where PLC outputs need individual fuse protection. It connects via a 20-pin interface and distributes signals across multiple fused channels, protecting connected loads like relays, solenoids, and actuators. This improves system reliability and minimizes downtime by isolating faults at the circuit level.
