Where it sits in the control system
The EL1262 is the device-level element in a Beckhoff circuit breaker installation. It receives the field signals and control supply listed above — 24 V DC (IEC 61131-2) — and switches or conditions the load within the 24 V DC (-15%/+20%) ratings shown in the Specifications table. Wiring and protective devices are sized to those same numbers, not to a generic assumption.
Typical installations place it in distribution boards, motor protection circuits, panel feeders, where the unit is matched to the original catalog number and the enclosure provides 35 mm DIN rail (IEC 60715) support. Record the catalog number and revision from the nameplate of the installed unit before specifying a like-for-like spare.
Selection notes for Beckhoff EL1262
Beckhoff EL1262 — Industrial automation component supplied as a like-for-like replacement, selected by catalog number and published ratings. The figures below are taken from the specification table on this page for catalog number EL1262; confirm the installed unit's part number and revision so the replacement matches both electrically and mechanically.
- Rated operational voltage: 24 V DC (-15%/+20%) — Confirm the revision of the installed unit before a like-for-like replacement.
- Tripping characteristic: 8…9 mm — Use it as the reference when cross-checking a current-production equivalent.
- Supply voltage: 24 V DC (IEC 61131-2) — Verify it in the project documentation before confirming the order.
- Weight: approx. 55 g — Check this value against the nameplate of the installed unit before ordering.
For a discontinued unit, match function and electrical ratings rather than the label alone.
Common questions about EL1262
Q.For EL1262, what does the specification table state about rated operational voltage?
The specification table lists rated operational voltage = 24 V DC (-15%/+20%) for Beckhoff EL1262. Use the value as the reference when sourcing a current-production equivalent.
Q.Which value is published under operating temperature for catalog number EL1262?
For EL1262, operating temperature is given as 0...+55 °C (IEC 60068-2-1). Check the revision of the installed unit if the catalog number has been superseded.
Q.Before ordering EL1262, which supply voltage entry should be checked?
The supply voltage entry quoted above is 24 V DC (IEC 61131-2). Compare it with the nameplate of the installed unit before ordering.
Q.Can the EL1262 replace the unit currently installed in my panel?
Compare catalog number EL1262 and the ratings above with the nameplate of the installed device. A current-production equivalent is selected by function and electrical rating, not by the label alone.
Q.What should I include in an enquiry for EL1262?
Send the full catalog number EL1262, the required quantity and a photo of the nameplate. Stock, lead time and the applicable compliance documents can then be confirmed for Beckhoff EL1262.
