Output Protection

100 ms delay on power-up; outputs do not conduct at this time

Models with solid-state outputs are protected against false

pulse on power-up and continuous overload or short circuit of

outputs

Output Configuration:

AC and AC/DC models: All models have SPDT

electromechanical relay (one N.O. contact, one N.C. contact)

DC-only models:

OTBVN6 models have complementary NPN sinking

outputs

OTBVP6 models have complementary PNP sourcing

outputs

Indicator LEDs

Two indicator LEDs. One lights whenever power is applied;

the other lights whenever the switch is activated

Operating Temperature

–20 °C to +50 °C (–4 °F to +122 °F)

90% at +50 °C maximum relative humidity (non-condensing)

Environmental Considerations

Models with polysulfone housing): Prolonged exposure to

direct outdoor sunlight causes embrittlement of the

polysulfone housing. Window glass effectively filters longer

wavelength ultraviolet and provides excellent protection from

sunlight. Contact Banner Engineering regarding outdoor

applications.

Models with polycarbonate housing: Avoid prolonged

exposure to hot water and moist high-temperature

environments above 66 °C (150 °F). Avoid aromatic

hydrocarbons (such as xylene and toluene), halogenated

hydrocarbons, and strong alkalis. Clean periodically using

mild soap solution and a soft cloth. Avoid strong alkaline

materials.

Construction

Black polysulfone (or red polycarbonate) upper housing and

fiber-reinforced thermoplastic polyester base. Electronics fully

epoxy-encapsulated. Totally encapsulated, non-metallic

enclosure. Threaded base has M30 x 1.5 external threads and

1/2-in NPSM internal threads. Base requires a 1-3/16-in

diameter mounting hole (fits most standard automotive- size

jumbo legend plates and oiltight pushbutton holes).

Protective cover: Polypropylene copolymer

Ambient Light Immunity

120,000 lux (direct sunlight)

EMI/RFI Immunity

Highly resistant to both single and mixed EMI and RFI noise

sources

Response Time

100 ms ON/OFF

Cable

AC and AC/DC quick-disconnect (QD) models require a

MBCC-512 5-conductor cable, MQDC-4xx 4-conductor cable,

MQDC1-5xx 5-conductor cable, or MQDC-4xx 4-conductor

cable

DC-only quick-disconnect (QD) models require model

MBCC-412 4-conductor 7/8 in. 16UNF cable, MQDC-4xx 4-

conductor cable, or MQDC-4xx 4-conductor cable

Cables are purchased separately

Models with attached cable (non-QD models): 2 m (6 ft) PVC-

jacketed, 22 AWG 4- or 5-conductor cable

Output Rating:

AC and AC/DC models:

Maximum voltage is 250 V AC or 30 V DC

Maximum current is 7 amps (resistive load)

Minimum load is .05 watts (DC), .05VA (AC)

Mechanical life of relay is 50,000,000 operations

(minimum)

Electrical life of relay is 100,000 operations (minimum) at

full resistive load

Transient suppression recommended when switching

inductive loads

DC models:

150 mA maximum load (each output)

ON-state saturation voltage: less than 1 V at 10 mA; less

than 1.5 V at 150 mA

OFF-state leakage current: less than 1 µA

Environmental Rating

NEMA 1, 3, 4, 4X, 12, and 13; IP66
