Product Overview

The GE Fanuc IC200TBM002 is a specialized auxiliary I/O terminal strip designed to expand wiring density within the VersaMax PLC ecosystem. This box-style component provides 18 internally-bussed connection points, functioning as a high-capacity distribution block for common power or ground signals. By integrating directly with VersaMax I/O carriers, the IC200TBM002 simplifies complex field wiring by offering organized interposing terminals. Its design prioritizes both spatial efficiency and electrical integrity, ensuring that high-density I/O configurations remain manageable and reliable in industrial control cabinets.

Hardware Parameters and Technical Characteristics

• Terminal Type: 18 internally-bussed IEC box-style terminals.

• Voltage Capacity: Rated for operation up to 264 VAC, with surge tolerance reaching 300 VAC.

• Current Rating: Supports a maximum aggregate current of 8 Amps.

• Wiring Compatibility: Accommodates solid or stranded conductors between AWG #14 ($2.1 mm^2$) and AWG #22 ($0.33 mm^2$).

• Dual-Wire Support: Capable of housing two wires up to AWG #18 per terminal point.

• Installation Mechanism: Features integrated mounting tabs and insert-slots for secure attachment to I/O carriers.
