10 AMP DRIVER TYPE W042

The W042 is a double-height, double-width "W Series" module designed as a 10-amp driver for heavy-duty components such as paper tape/card punches, hydraulic servo valves, and high-torque stepping motors. It features four independent germanium transistor drivers, each capable of handling up to 10 amperes at 40°C or 8 amperes at 55°C. The module includes clamp diodes for transient suppression on inductive loads and uses "Faston" tabs for high-current connections. It requires specific cooling considerations due to potential power dissipation of up to 20 watts and operates with input requirements of 2 mA at ground.
