Original IC694TBS032 RX3i PacSystem Clamp Terminal Block GE

Product Overview

The IC694TBS032 is a high-density, spring-style terminal block manufactured by GE Fanuc for the RX3i PACSystems and Series 90-30 PLC series. Featuring 36 spring-clamp terminals, this compact accessory provides efficient, space-saving field wiring directly to the module while supporting both solid and stranded conductors.

Key Advantages

• Spring-Clamp Mechanism: Screwless design ensures quick wire insertion and continuous vibration resistance.
• Thick External Insulation: Heavy-duty outer body insulation allows thick-insulated field wires to safely run through the block.
• Tool-Free Maintenance: Front protective door and easy-release mechanical latch simplify replacement.

Technical Specifications

Quick Installation Tips

• Strip all field connection wires exactly to 0.31 inches to prevent exposed copper conductor shorts.
• To remove the block, push the integrated latch down until it completely releases from the chassis body.
• When installing, align and slide the block upward until the locking mechanism clicks into place.
• Maintain proper panel ventilation clearance around the module to avoid hot spots and thermal overload.

Technical FAQs

Q1: What wire types and sizes are compatible with the spring clamps?

A1: It accommodates a wide wire gauge range between 14 and 28 AWG, supporting both flexible stranded and solid core conductors natively.

Q2: Can I use this block on a legacy Series 90-30 PLC rack?

A2: Yes. The unit cross-compatibly interfaces with high-density modules belonging to both the GE RX3i PACSystems and Series 90-30 systems.

Q3: Is a torque wrench needed for the spring clamp connections?

A3: While the wires use spring tension, the direct connection points within the terminal block assembly support an engineering torque specification of 7 lb-in.
