GE IC694TBS032

الوصف

The GE IC694TBS032 is a 32-point Spring-Clamp Terminal Block used with GE’s PACSystems RX3i and RX7i PLC I/O modules. It’s an accessory, not a functional electronic component, and its main purpose is to provide a physical interface for connecting field wiring to the PLC.

Key Features

• Type: It is a spring-clamp (or push-in) terminal block. Instead of a screw, a spring mechanism holds the wire in place. This allows for faster wiring, especially in high-density applications. A screwdriver is typically used to depress the spring and insert the wire, which is then held firmly when the pressure is released.
• Point Count: The “32” in the part number indicates it has 32 wiring points, corresponding to the I/O count of the modules it’s designed to work with.
• Compatibility: This terminal block is compatible with a range of 32-point I/O modules within the RX3i and RX7i families.
• Physical Design: It features a keying system to prevent incorrect insertion into a module, ensuring proper orientation and preventing damage.

Applications

The IC694TBS032 is a standard component in any industrial automation system that utilizes compatible GE PACSystems.

• Faster Installation: The spring-clamp design allows for quicker and easier wiring during installation, especially for high-volume jobs.
• Vibration Resistance: Spring-clamp terminals are generally more resistant to loosening due to vibration than screw terminals, making them ideal for use in harsh industrial environments.
• Maintenance: It is used to simplify rewiring during system maintenance or when replacing modules.
