GE IC660TBR100 Terminal Blocks

Configured for field wiring termination and mechanical interlock in GE Genius I/O networks, the GE IC660TBR100 (IC660TBR100 Terminal Assembly) provides direct physical/electrical execution. The terminal base accepts incoming field wiring signals and provides structural backplane interconnectivity for Genius electronic blocks (such as the IC660EBR100 and IC660BBR100 series). It acts as the permanent wiring interface, allowing electronic assemblies to be detached or replaced without disturbing physical field connections.

Hardware Specifications

Deterministic Network and I/O Density Scaling

The IC660TBR100 terminal assembly maintains backplane bus communication velocity across the internal Genius serial pass-through connections. Supporting clean I/O density scaling in control enclosures, the rigid pin connector blocks eliminate impedance variations and maintain high signal integrity during high-speed data sampling. Full firmware flash compatibility is preserved across electronic assemblies mounted to the base, ensuring continuous transmission of diagnostic states to host CPUs without network latency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can electronic assemblies mounted on the IC660TBR100 be serviced without disconnecting field wires?

A: Yes, the IC660TBR100 holds all physical field wiring screwed into its terminal blocks, permitting the attached electronic assembly to be unlatched and replaced independently.

Q: Does the IC660TBR100 terminal assembly draw power from the backplane or field supply?

A: No, the unit is a passive wiring block containing internal bus bars and screw terminals with zero active electronic componentry or power consumption.

Q: Which specific electronic assemblies pair with the IC660TBR100 terminal base?

A: The IC660TBR100 is engineered to connect directly with the IC660EBR100 electronic assembly and form the foundation for IC660BBR100 Genius I/O block configurations.

Field Installation Guidelines

1. Mount the IC660TBR100 terminal assembly firmly to the panel or enclosure DIN rail prior to wiring.
2. Ensure system control power and field circuit voltage sources are fully isolated before landing wires onto the screw terminals.
3. Wire field inputs, outputs, and power supplies strictly according to the terminal pinout diagram using properly sized ferrules.
4. Align the matching electronic assembly (e.g., IC660EBR100) with the IC660TBR100 base guides and press firmly until locked in place.
5. Connect the terminal assembly ground lug to the cabinet protective earth (PE) bus to establish shield continuity for connected Genius serial communications.
