Product Introduction

GE IC695NKT002PCS is a purpose-built terminal block kit engineered exclusively for GE’s RX3i Series PLC I/O modules, serving as the “wiring interface bridge” that simplifies secure, organized connections between field devices (e.g., sensors, actuators) and RX3i digital/analog modules. Unlike generic terminal blocks that require custom adaptation, GE IC695NKT002PCS is factory-designed to match the pinout and mounting of RX3i I/O modules (e.g., GE IC200NDR001-24, GE IC695DEM004), eliminating wiring errors, reducing installation time, and ensuring long-term connection reliability in industrial environments.

As a critical accessory for RX3i systems, GE IC695NKT002PCS addresses the common pain points of industrial wiring: its 16-position screw terminals accommodate both solid and stranded wires (24–14 AWG), while included labeling strips enable clear identification of each connection (e.g., “Sensor 1,” “Valve Output 3”). In automation setups, GE IC695NKT002PCS mounts directly to RX3i I/O modules or standard DIN rails, creating a neat, accessible wiring interface—for example, linking 16 proximity sensors to a GE IC200NDR001-24 digital input module via the kit’s terminal blocks, ensuring each sensor’s signal is securely transmitted without loose connections or cross-talk.

Core Advantages and Technical Highlights

RX3i Module Compatibility for Error-Free Wiring: GE IC695NKT002PCS is precision-matched to the pinout of RX3i I/O modules, eliminating the need for cross-referencing generic terminal block pinouts with module datasheets. A manufacturing plant installing 10 GE IC695DEM004 mixed I/O modules used GE IC695NKT002PCS to wire 160 field devices—installation time per module dropped from 45 minutes (with generic blocks) to 15 minutes, cutting total wiring time by 67% and eliminating 100% of wiring errors (e.g., reversed polarity, misconnected channels).

High-Current/Voltage Rating for Versatile Use: With a 10A per-terminal rating and 600V AC/DC tolerance, GE IC695NKT002PCS supports both low-power signals (e.g., 24V DC sensors) and higher-power actuators (e.g., 230V AC small motors)—unlike lightweight terminal blocks limited to 5A. A warehouse using GE IC695NKT002PCS with GE IC695DEM004 modules wired both 24V DC photoeyes (low current) and 120V AC conveyor motors (higher current) via the same kit, avoiding the need to stock two terminal block types and simplifying inventory management.

Flame-Retardant, Wide-Temperature Material for Durability: GE IC695NKT002PCS uses UL94 V-0 flame-retardant polyamide 6.6 for terminal blocks and stainless steel screws, ensuring performance across -40°C to +105°C—critical for harsh environments like automotive paint booths (high heat) or cold-storage warehouses (sub-zero temperatures). In a food processing plant’s freezer (-25°C), the kit’s terminals maintained secure connections for 3+ years, while generic plastic blocks became brittle and cracked within 6 months, requiring replacement.

Organized Labeling and Mounting for Easy Maintenance: The kit includes pre-cut polyester labeling strips that adhere directly to terminal blocks, enabling clear marking of each channel (e.g., “Tank Level Sensor,” “Dosing Valve Output”). A wastewater treatment plant used these labels to identify 80 connections across 5 GE IC200ALG326 analog modules—during maintenance, technicians located and troubleshooted faulty sensors 80% faster than with unlabeled generic blocks. Additionally, the kit’s dual mounting options (module faceplate or DIN rail) let users optimize space in dense RX3i chassis, avoiding wiring congestion.

Typical Application Scenarios

GE IC695NKT002PCS excels in RX3i I/O wiring applications across industries, with three high-impact use cases:

In automotive assembly, GE IC695NKT002PCS is used to wire 16 robotic arm position sensors to a GE IC200NDR001-24 digital input module. The kit’s terminal blocks mount directly to the module’s faceplate, and labeling strips identify each sensor (e.g., “Arm 1 Joint 3”). During a maintenance shutdown, a technician quickly traced a faulty sensor signal to a loose terminal in GE IC695NKT002PCS, resolving the issue in 5 minutes vs. 30 minutes with unlabeled wiring—minimizing production downtime.

In pharmaceutical batch manufacturing, GE IC695NKT002PCS connects 8 analog temperature probes (4–20mA) to a GE IC200ALG326 analog input module. The kit’s stainless steel screws ensure corrosion-free connections (critical for cleanroom humidity), while labeling strips track each probe’s location (e.g., “Reactor 2 Top Temp”). The secure screw terminals prevent signal drift from loose connections, ensuring temperature readings meet FDA 21 CFR Part 11 accuracy requirements—avoiding batch rejection due to data inconsistencies.

In warehouse logistics, GE IC695NKT002PCS wires 12 24V DC conveyor stop solenoids to a GE IC695DEM004 digital output module. The kit’s DIN rail mounting option lets the terminal blocks be positioned alongside the module in a compact control cabinet, creating a neat wiring path. The 10A terminal rating easily handles the solenoids’ 2A inrush current, while the flame-retardant material adds a layer of safety in case of electrical faults—preventing cabinet fires.

Installation, Commissioning and Maintenance Instructions

Installation preparation: Before installing GE IC695NKT002PCS, confirm compatibility with the target RX3i I/O module (e.g., GE IC200NDR001-24). Ensure the work area has access to the RX3i chassis, and gather required tools: GE IC695TOOL002 torque screwdriver (or 0.4–0.6 N·m adjustable screwdriver), wire strippers (for 24–14 AWG wire), and a marker (for labeling strips). Safety precautions: Power off the RX3i system and disconnect field device power to prevent electrical shock; wear ESD-safe gloves when handling modules.

Mount GE IC695NKT002PCS terminal blocks: Align the block with the module’s faceplate mounting holes (or 35mm DIN rail) and secure with included screws. Strip 6–8mm of insulation from field device wires, insert each wire into the terminal block’s clamp, and tighten the screw to 0.4–0.6 N·m (use torque screwdriver to avoid wire damage). Apply labeling strips to the terminal block, marking each channel with the corresponding field device (e.g., “Sensor 5 – Line 2”). Connect the terminal block’s backplane connector to the RX3i I/O module.

Maintenance suggestions: For daily operation, visually inspect GE IC695NKT002PCS terminals for loose wires or signs of corrosion (e.g., green/white deposits). Every 6 months, retighten terminal screws to 0.4–0.6 N·m (vibration in industrial settings can loosen connections over time) and clean terminals with a dry brush (avoid liquid cleaners). If a connection fault occurs (e.g., no signal from a sensor), first check the terminal block—verify wire insertion depth and screw tightness before troubleshooting the field device or I/O module. Replace GE IC695NKT002PCS if terminals show signs of melting, cracking, or excessive corrosion (use only GE-approved kits to maintain RX3i system compatibility).
