Applications
The GE IC670CHS004 terminal block is ideal for temperature monitoring in industrial processes. It connects thermocouple sensors to Field Control thermocouple modules, providing cold junction compensation to counteract heat generated by circuit electronics. With a maximum current of 10 Amperes per terminal and support for two thermocouple modules, it suits high-density installations. PLC Source PRO supplies genuine GE Fanuc parts with fast quotes and technical support to keep your automation systems running.
Compatibility and Installation
The IC670CHS004 is compatible with GE Fanuc Field Control thermocouple modules. It requires proper grounding to the chassis for accurate compensation. Wiring should use AWB 16-20 gauge wire, tightened to 4.5 lb-in torque. The block supports hot swapping, allowing replacement without system shutdown. For cable termination, the AMP Pro-Crimper II Hand Tool Assembly 90546-1 is recommended.
Selection Guide
Choose the GE IC670CHS004 when you need a reliable thermocouple interface for Field Control systems. It accommodates two thermocouple modules, making it efficient for multi-channel temperature measurement. Ensure your application's current does not exceed 10 Amperes per terminal.
