Where it sits in the control system
The AL1342 is the device-level element in an IFM 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 <= 440 V AC 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 IFM AL1342
IFM AL1342 — 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 AL1342; size the surrounding wiring and upstream protection to these published ratings rather than to a generic assumption.
- Breaking capacity Icu/Ics: yes — Match it to the existing panel and upstream protection.
- Mounting: 35 mm DIN rail (IEC 60715) — Record it with the other nameplate data when sourcing a replacement.
- Supply voltage: 24 V DC (IEC 61131-2) — Confirm the revision of the installed unit before a like-for-like replacement.
- Weight: 403 g — Use it as the reference when cross-checking a current-production equivalent.
Cross-check the ratings above with the installed device before confirming the order.
Common questions about AL1342
Q.Which value is published under storage temperature for catalog number AL1342?
For AL1342, storage temperature is given as -25...85 °C. Compare it with the nameplate of the installed unit before ordering.
Q.Before ordering AL1342, which certifications entry should be checked?
The certifications entry quoted above is CE, cULus. Confirm this figure against the unit currently in the panel.
Q.Where can I find the enclosure rating data for AL1342?
It is listed in the specification table for IFM AL1342 as IP20 (IEC 60529). Use the value as the reference when sourcing a current-production equivalent.
Q.Can the AL1342 replace the unit currently installed in my panel?
Compare catalog number AL1342 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.How do I confirm compatibility of AL1342 before ordering?
Match the catalog number AL1342 and the specification values listed above against the installed unit, then confirm the firmware or hardware revision where a revision-sensitive part is involved.
