GE IC200CHS025 – Compact Spring-Style I/O Carrier Overview

The GE Fanuc Versamax IC200CHS025 is a compact spring-style I/O carrier module designed for industrial automation applications. This carrier provides mounting, field wiring, and backplane communications for compatible Versamax I/O modules. The IC200CHS025 allows modules to mount vertically onto the carrier, and users can remove the modules without disturbing the field wiring. This review covers the key specifications, features, and practical value of this reliable I/O carrier.

Key Features and Specifications

The IC200CHS025 carrier includes 36 IEC box-style terminals. These terminals can terminate single copper wires from AWG 14 to AWG 22, or dual copper wires of AWG 18 gauge. The carrier supports a maximum of 32 I/O points and four common or power connections. A latch hole ensures secure fastening of the module to the carrier, while carrier-to-carrier mating connectors enable system expansion. Keying dials guarantee the installation of the correct module type.
