Dimensions

 

Here’s a breakdown of the key dimensions from the drawing:

Top View Dimensions:

• Overall Width: 56 mm
• Main Body Width: 50.8 mm
• Distance between Mounting Holes (Horizontal): 50.8 mm
• Distance from Bottom to Center of Mounting Holes: 26 mm
• Distance from Top to Center of Mounting Holes: 11 mm
• Overall Height: 72 mm
• Distance from Bottom to Bottom Mounting Holes: 6 mm
• Mounting Hole Size: 4x 5.3 mm (diameter) and 2x 4.2 mm (diameter)

Bottom View Dimensions:

• Overall Width: 41 mm

Other Notable Features:

• Terminal Connections: The drawing indicates terminals for -24V, 18 (ground), and OUT (output signal).

Important Notes:

• Units: All dimensions are in millimeters (mm).
• Interpretations: The “4x 5.3” and “2x 4.2” likely refer to the number and diameter of mounting holes.
• Context: This drawing provides the physical dimensions necessary for installation and mounting of the CON021 converter.
