GE 8602-FT-ST Field Terminal Block

Product Brief Introduction: The GE 8602-FT-ST is a Field Terminal block designed for the GE PACSystems RX3i or similar modular I/O platforms. It serves as the physical interface point for connecting field wiring to the electronic I/O modules. This terminal block simplifies wiring, enhances organization, and allows for easy module replacement without disturbing field connections.

Technical Specifications:
Type: Screw-clamp terminal block
Wire Size: 14-22 AWG (stranded/solid)
Torque Rating: 0.5 Nm (4.4 lb-in) max
Voltage Rating: 300V AC/DC
Current Rating: 10A per channel
Channels: 16 or 32 points (model dependent)
Mounting: Snap-on to I/O module base
Labeling: Pre-printed or writable labels included
Functional Features:
Tool-less or screw-driver wire connection options.
Clear channel numbering for easy identification.
Test points for troubleshooting without disconnecting wires.
Mechanical keying prevents mismatched module installation.
Durable construction resists vibration and corrosion.
Color-coded options for signal type differentiation.
Application Scenarios:
Industrial machinery control panels.
Process instrumentation wiring (4-20mA, thermocouples).
Discrete sensor and actuator connections.
Retrofit projects requiring organized wiring transitions.
High-density I/O applications.
Performance Parameters:
Contact Resistance: Low and stable over time.
Dielectric Strength: High insulation between adjacent terminals.
Vibration Resistance: Secure clamping prevents wire loosening.
Thermal Rating: Operates safely at full load in enclosed panels.
Lifecycle: Rated for thousands of insertion/removal cycles.
Structural Characteristics:
Compact footprint matches I/O module width.
Hinged cover protects terminals from dust and accidental shorts.
Removable terminal strips for pre-wiring off-panel.
Integrated DIN rail clip or direct mount to module.
Robust plastic housing with flame-retardant rating.
Working Principle:
Provides a secure mechanical and electrical connection between external field devices and the internal pins of the I/O module. When the I/O module is removed for service, the terminal block remains wired, preserving the field infrastructure. Signals pass directly through the metal contacts to the module’s electronics.
Installation Requirements:
Strip wire ends to correct length (approx. 7mm).
Insert wire fully into clamp before tightening screw.
Torque screws to specification to avoid damage or loose connections.
Snap terminal block onto I/O base securely before inserting module.
Apply labels corresponding to field device tags.
Route wires neatly using ducting or ties to prevent strain.
