PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1768-KY1 is a replacement key designed for CompactLogix control systems. It provides functional system access control for designated controller platforms. The component is molded from durable plastic material and is commonly orange in color for quick identification. This unit is compatible with 1768-L43, 1768-L43S, 1768-L45, and 1768-L45S controllers. It mounts securely within standard DIN rail system configurations.
The unit features electrostatic discharge protection rated at 6 kV contact and 8 kV air discharge. It delivers functional isolation to maintain operational integrity in industrial enclosures. Operational shock resistance is rated at 30 G, while vibration tolerance reaches 5 G. The operating temperature spans from 0 °C to 60 °C across 5% to 95% non-condensing relative humidity. Safe storage temperature limits range from -40 °C to 85 °C.
