The Pepperl + Fuchs Z728 Zener Barrier is a vital component designed to ensure the safety and integrity of electrical systems in hazardous areas. This one-channel, DC version with positive polarity is engineered to prevent the transfer of excessive energy from safe areas into explosive environments, thereby mitigating the risk of ignition and ensuring operational safety. With a working voltage of 26.5 V at 10 µA and a maximum series resistance of 327 Ω, the Z728 is built to maintain a controlled environment for your electrical connections.
The Zener Barrier's robust design includes a nominal resistance of 300 Ω and a fuse rating of 50 mA, which together provide a reliable safeguard against electrical surges. The device is designed for easy mounting on a 35 mm DIN rail, in accordance with DIN EN 60715, making it a convenient and space-saving solution for panel installations.
Constructed with a modular terminal housing, the Z728 offers a degree of protection compliant with IEC 60529 standards, ensuring durability and longevity in a variety of industrial settings. The ambient operating temperature range of -20 to 60 °C and storage temperature range of -25 to 70 °C make it suitable for challenging environmental conditions.
The Zener Barrier is an essential component for industries operating in potentially explosive atmospheres, providing a high level of protection and peace of mind. Its meticulous design and construction make it a reliable choice for safeguarding your electrical systems against hazardous energy transfers.

Found the part we needed at the best price. Spoke to Rob to make sure the part was actually in stock, as many companies don't actually have the part available to ship. It was in stock ready and the part was checked and shipped and received within a couple of days from their German stock. Would definitely use again and recommend.Chris Sentance
