## Item description 

## Note: 

- Reinforced insulation between coil and contacts 

- A separator plate (e.g., 209-191) must be used for voltages greater than 250 V between adjacent relay modules and for compliance with the reinforced insulation requirements. 

- To protect the relay coils and contacts, inductive loads must be dampened with an effective protection circuit.
