Beckhoff KL2424 Bus Terminal

The Beckhoff KL2424 is a 4-channel digital output terminal engineered to deliver high-current 24 V DC switching directly to actuators in demanding industrial environments. With each channel supporting up to 2 A and built-in short-circuit protection, the KL2424 is ideal for controlling powerful loads such as solenoids, relays, and lamps.

This 2-wire terminal allows the direct connection of actuators with shared ground reference, supported by four integrated ground connection points. Its compact form factor and LED diagnostics make it a reliable, space-saving solution for automation systems.
