The Allen-Bradley 1769-RTBN10 serves as the primary physical interface between field-side wiring and 1769 Compact I/O modules. This 10-pin Removable Terminal Block (RTB) allows engineers to wire sensors and actuators to a secure connector that plugs directly into the I/O module. This modular approach enables rapid hardware maintenance without disturbing existing field connections. We supply this component in 100% Brand New original condition, ensuring high-integrity electrical contact for critical control applications.
The 1769-RTBN10 utilizes industrial-grade screw-clamp terminals to provide vibration-resistant connections for a wide range of wire gauges.

The 1769-RTBN10 optimizes machine uptime and simplifies cabinet management by providing a modular, technician-friendly wiring solution.
Zero-Disturbance Maintenance: The removable design allows technicians to swap faulty I/O modules in seconds. You simply unplug the wired RTB, replace the module, and plug the RTB back in. This eliminates the risk of miswiring during emergency repairs.
Superior Vibration Resistance: The screw-clamp mechanism exerts constant pressure on the wire, preventing signal loss or intermittent connections caused by machine-induced vibrations. This makes the 1769-RTBN10 ideal for high-speed packaging and stamping equipment.
High-Density Layout Capability: The compact 10-pin footprint integrates perfectly into the narrow profile of 1769 I/O modules. This maximizes rail space in crowded control cabinets where every millimeter counts.
Wide Gauge Compatibility: This terminal block supports wire sizes from 22 AWG up to 14 AWG. This versatility allows you to use thin signal wires for sensors or thicker power wires for high-current digital outputs within the same connector family.
Standardized Connection Type: By utilizing NEMA-standard 10-pin configurations, the 1769-RTBN10 provides a familiar interface for global installation teams, reducing the learning curve for system integrators.
Can I use the 1769-RTBN10 on a module that requires 18 pins?
No. You must match the terminal block pin count to the specific module. For modules with 18 connection points, you must utilize the 1769-RTBN18. The 1769-RTBN10 exclusively fits modules with 10-point headers.
Does this terminal block come with the 1769 I/O module?
Standard I/O modules typically include an RTB, but the 1769-RTBN10 is frequently purchased as a replacement part for damaged connectors or as a spare to enable pre-wiring of field harnesses in the workshop.
Is there a spring-clamp version available?
Yes. While the 1769-RTBN10 features screw terminals, Rockwell Automation also offers spring-clamp versions (typically designated with "C" instead of "N") for applications requiring even faster tool-less wiring.
What is the recommended torque for the screw terminals?
To ensure a secure connection without damaging the clamp, technicians should follow the torque specifications found in the 1769 User Manual, typically ranging between 0.5–0.6 Nm (4.4–5.3 lb-in).
