The General Electric IC670CHS002E is a dedicated I/O terminal block designed for the GE Field Control series. This component provides a robust interface for wiring field signals to I/O modules, supporting system density by accommodating up to two modules per block.

Features

• Supports two I/O modules per terminal block assembly.
• Equipped with 37 individual terminals for flexible field wiring.
• Rated for a maximum current of 10 Amperes per terminal.
• Engineered for hot-swap compatibility to facilitate maintenance without system downtime.
• Compatible with Field Control modules featuring a catalog number suffix of J or higher.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the system power is completely disconnected before attempting to install or remove the terminal block from the mounting rail.
• Verify that the I/O module being installed carries a suffix of J or later to ensure electrical and mechanical compatibility with this block.
• When wiring, ensure connections are secure; the block accepts one AWG 14 wire or two wires ranging from AWG 18 to 22 per terminal.
• Handle with care to prevent debris from entering the terminal points, which could cause intermittent contact issues.
• Maintain proper cable routing and strain relief to prevent mechanical stress on the terminal connections.

FAQ

Is this terminal block compatible with all Field Control modules?

No, the IC670CHS002E is specifically compatible with modules that have a catalog number suffix of J or higher. Please verify your module revision before installation.

Does this block support hot-swapping?

Yes, the design of the IC670CHS002E allows for hot-swapping, enabling module replacement while the system is under power, provided that local site safety procedures allow for it.
