Allen-Bradley 1771-WC Field Wiring Arm

Description

The Allen-Bradley 1771-WC Field Wiring Arm is a component belonging to the PLC-5 series, designed for secure field wiring connections in PLC systems. It features 12 gold-plated terminals to ensure reliable, corrosion-resistant electrical connections for field wiring applications. The unit has a compact footprint with dimensions of 14 x 3 x 3 cm and a weight of 0.7 kg, making it easy to install in tight control panel spaces. As a swing-style field wiring arm, it provides a dedicated interface for connecting external field devices to compatible PLC-5 system components. It is part of a family of similar field wiring arms, including the 1771-WG, 1771-WN, and 1771-WH models, which vary in specifications such as terminal count (the 1771-WH, for example, offers 21 terminals). The gold-plated terminals enhance conductivity and durability, suitable for industrial environments where consistent signal transmission is critical. This component is engineered to streamline field wiring setup, reducing installation time and improving connection integrity for PLC-5-based automation systems.
