The Allen-Bradley 1769-PB2 is a DC input power supply module designed for CompactLogix and MicroLogix 1500 systems. It provides supplemental backplane power when the controller’s integrated supply is insufficient or when additional distributed I/O banks are required.
Built for industrial reliability, the 1769-PB2 features reinforced insulation and an extended power supply distance rating, enabling flexible system expansion while maintaining stable voltage and signal integrity.

When installed in a CompactLogix system, the distance rating of the 1769-PB2 is a key design constraint. Each power supply can support up to eight I/O modules on either the left or right side.
The module is commonly installed in the second or third I/O bank to maintain regulated backplane voltage in high-density configurations. Mounting options include DIN rail (zinc-plated, yellow-chromate) or panel mounting for enhanced vibration resistance.
Is the internal fuse field-replaceable?
No. The fuse is intended for catastrophic fault protection only and is not field-replaceable. A blown fuse typically requires module replacement or factory-level repair to maintain IEC Class 1 grounding and safety compliance.
What is the purpose of reinforced insulation?
Reinforced insulation electrically isolates the DC input from the system backplane, protecting CPUs and I/O modules from external noise, surge transients, and grounding disturbances.
Our production line was down due to a faulty Bently Nevada monitor. We found it in stock here and they shipped it via DHL immediately. Back in operation within 48 hours—truly a lifesaver for our plant.
Finding brand new, original modules is critical for our safety. This team delivers factory-fresh components with full certification. Their commitment to only selling new products makes them our most trusted partner.
We have sourced Honeywell and Schneider parts here for two years. Every shipment arrives well-packaged with original factory seals intact. Clear communication and the best lead times in the industry.
