TBS DCM-RBS-24-500 Remote Battery Switch - 500A, 24V DC Modular

The DCM-RBS-24-500 from TBS Electronics is a high-performance Remote Battery Switch (RBS) designed for reliable DC power management in marine, industrial, RV, and off-grid applications. Capable of handling continuous currents up to 500 Amps and peak switching up to 1600 Amps, this smart magnetic latching contactor allows convenient remote or local switching of high-current battery loads.

Ideal for battery banks, inverters, and heavy-duty DC systems, the DCM-RBS-24-500 features extremely low standby current (<100μA) and supports both local push-button and external 5-wire control for open/close operations. Visual status LEDs indicate contact state and fault modes, ensuring fast diagnostics.

Built for the DC Modular grid, this compact unit integrates seamlessly into modern electrical systems, with IP65 protection, CE compliance, and ISO 8846 ignition protection.
