GE IC695TBB132 PACSystems RX3i Terminal Block
The GE IC695TBB132, also cataloged as the IC695TBB132 extended box-style terminal block, operates as a dedicated hardware component for field wiring termination within PACSystems RX3i platforms. It provides direct physical connectivity for high-density discrete and analog I/O modules, accommodating 36 screw terminal positions with an extended cover clearance of 13 mm.

Deterministic I/O Density & High-Density Wiring Scaling
The IC695TBB132 mounts directly to the front faceplate of RX3i high-density I/O cards to interface discrete signals with the central backplane bus. High-density terminal scaling allows 36 independent field connections in a single rack slot while maintaining distinct channel separation. The extended outer cover design accommodates wires with thicker insulation jackets, preventing physical strain on field conductor loops and avoiding crosstalk during rapid signal refreshes across deterministic control networks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the extended depth cover affect module spacing in the enclosure door?
A: The outer cover extends outward by an additional 13 mm compared to standard IC694TBB032 blocks. Engineers must verify front panel enclosure depth to prevent physical interference with cabinet doors when routing wires with heavy insulation.
Q: Can maintenance personnel wire this block while the RX3i system remains powered?
A: Removing or installing the removable terminal block assembly from an energized I/O module is permitted on supported RX3i hardware, but technicians must ensure all connected field circuits are de-energized to prevent short circuits or accidental sensor actuation.
Q: What torque limit applies to the box-style screw terminals during installation?
A: Apply a maximum tightening torque of 7 lb-in to each terminal screw. Exceeding this limit risks damaging internal clamping cages or stripping thread engagements.
Field Installation Guidelines
Mount the IC695TBB132 onto the front connector header of the target RX3i I/O module until the side retention latches click firmly into place. Strip field conductors precisely to 7.87 mm using the molded gauge on the bottom of the block as a guide. Insert stranded or solid wires (#14 to #26 AWG) into the designated box terminals and tighten using a standard screwdriver calibrated to 7 lb-in torque. Route incoming field cables downward through wire troughs, keeping sensitive low-voltage DC signals segregated from high-voltage AC lines by a minimum of 300 mm. Ensure panel ambient air velocity permits continuous thermal dissipation to hold local temperature below 60 deg C.
