What this 48-point transistor output module does in an FX2N rack
The FX2N-48MT-D is a Mitsubishi FX2N Series PLC expansion module providing 48 transistor-sourced outputs on a DC-powered base. It snaps onto the FX2N main unit or an existing expansion block, extending discrete output capacity without a separate power supply — the 24 VDC rail comes from the rack backplane. Transistor outputs switch faster than relay equivalents and handle higher on-off cycle rates, making this module a fit for applications with frequent solenoid or indicator loads where relay contact wear would be a maintenance item.
Lifecycle reality — end-of-life and what that means for procurement
Sourcing runs through independent surplus and broker channels. Quantities are lot-specific; availability and pricing are confirmed per RFQ. No factory lead time applies — the module is sourced from existing inventory in the distribution network.
Panel fit and physical dimensions
The DC power input is drawn from the rack bus; no separate 24 V supply connection is needed at the module. Terminal assignments follow the FX2N standard — the transistor outputs share a common return on the terminal block.
