Description

Product Overview

The CPS16 is the 16‑channel screw‑clamp backplane base carrier for MTL intrinsic safety isolators and barriers. It provides safe‑area termination, bus power distribution and mechanical mounting for up to sixteen MTL plug‑in isolating modules. It is widely used for 4–20 mA HART instrument loops in refineries, petrochemical plants and hazardous‑area control systems. CPS16‑CC is the conformal coated variant for corrosive environments.
