IC670TBM002 GE Fanuc Box Style Auxiliary Terminal Strip
Product Introduction
The IC670TBM002 belongs to the GE Fanuc Field Control product family. This auxiliary terminal strip uses box type terminals instead of barrier-style connections. You receive two units with each order. Each block provides 13 terminals that accept one wire per terminal. The wire gauge range spans from AWG #14 to AWG #22. This product is perfect for extra common, return, or ground connections. Additionally, it supports panel mounting for stable installation.
Technical Specifications
The IC670TBM002 offers distinct advantages for field wiring. Its terminal type is box style, which provides secure wire retention. Each block contains 13 individual terminals, and every terminal accepts only one wire. The recommended wire type is instrumentation-grade shielded twisted pair cable. This wire choice delivers high noise immunity for sensitive analog signals.
Electrical Connectivity
All terminals on the IC670TBM002 are internally and electrically connected together. This design makes the block ideal for distributing a common voltage or ground reference. You can use it to create multiple common points from a single source. For 3-wire or 4-wire transmitters, this feature is especially valuable.
Wire Size and Capacity
The wire gauge acceptance ranges from AWG #14 (thicker) down to AWG #22 (thinner). This flexibility allows you to use the same block for power distribution and signal wiring. Each terminal holds exactly one wire, so plan your connections accordingly.
Mounting and Installation
The IC670TBM002 uses a different mounting method than other auxiliary blocks. It comes with panel-mounting feet rather than DIN rail clips. These feet allow you to screw the block directly onto a control panel surface.
Step-by-Step Installation
First, mount the host I/O terminal block onto its designated surface. Next, position the IC670TBM002 beside the host block. Then, use the integrated mounting feet to secure both units to the panel. These feet also help meet vibration specification ratings. They hold the auxiliary block and its host steadily during operation.
Field Wiring Process
Strip each wire to the appropriate length for the box terminal. Insert one AWG #14 to AWG #22 wire into each terminal. Tighten the screw to secure the connection. For best noise immunity, always use shielded twisted pair wire. Connect the shield drain wire to a dedicated ground terminal when available.
Applications and Use Cases
Specifically, the IC670TBM002 excels in several situations. For high-density discrete I/O modules, it provides extra return paths. For analog modules requiring multiple commons, this block delivers clean distribution points. Furthermore, it works well for creating extra ground connections in noisy environments. The box style terminals offer better vibration resistance than barrier types. Therefore, this model is recommended for machinery with significant vibration.
Comparison with IC670TBM001
The IC670TBM002 differs from the IC670TBM001 in several ways. First, it uses box style terminals instead of barrier style. Second, it has 13 terminals compared to 9 terminals. Third, it mounts on a panel rather than a DIN rail. Fourth, each terminal accepts only one wire, not two. Finally, the IC670TBM002 includes panel-mounting feet for vibration resistance. Choose the IC670TBM002 when you need more terminals and panel mounting capability.
