Features:
- Eight floating AC outputs serve discrete field switching.
- 115/230 V AC circuits form the field-side range of the 456-4 output card.
- The compact U-format card fits established SIMATIC S5 rack service.
The order code combines eight AC outputs with the fuse and switching limits of this 456-4 configuration.
It places a concentrated field interface beside legacy S5 control logic for contactors, valves, and indicator loads.
Check the rack slot, front connector, fuse grouping, and cabinet clearance before energizing a replacement card.
Availability is reviewed against the 456-4 AC output lifecycle and Apter Power sourcing records.

- Switches eight AC field circuits in machine panels.
- Drives contactors, valves, and indicator loads from S5-135U or S5-155U racks.
- Restores an existing 456-4 output position without changing cabinet architecture.
- The eight AC output circuits connect through the 456-4 front interface used by the S5 rack.
- Fit the specified output fuse arrangement and verify the connector jumper before applying field power.
- Series 3TJ contactors are limited to the 115 V AC operating case described for this module.
- Floating AC channels keep the field load side separated across the eight output points.
- The output protection scheme is intended to interrupt a fault at the individual circuit rather than bypassing the module fuse.
- VDE insulation checks distinguish the output groups from the group-to-earth test path.
- The output stage can drive resistive and inductive loads within the ventilated or non-ventilated use cases.
- Its AC switching design supports contactor and lamp duties in established S5 machine panels.
- UL and CSA switching-capacity ratings provide separate selection limits for the connected AC load.
