Description
GE IC660TBD025 Terminal Block Module
Product Overview: GE IC660TBD025
The GE IC660TBD025 terminal block module is a robust industrial connectivity solution designed for GE’s 90-30 Series PLC systems. As a critical component of this automation platform, the IC660TBD025 serves as a physical interface between field devices (sensors, actuators) and PLC control modules, enabling secure and reliable signal transmission. Engineered for harsh industrial environments, this terminal block combines durable construction with flexible wiring configurations, making it an essential element for maintaining system integrity in manufacturing, energy, and process control applications.
Featuring a 25-position terminal layout, the IC660TBD025 supports both power and signal connections, with each terminal rated for 10A/250V AC. Its screw-down termination design ensures stable connections even in high-vibration settings, while the polarity-marked terminals simplify wiring and reduce installation errors. The module’s DIN rail mounting and compatibility with GE’s 90-30 Series racks (e.g., IC660RCM001) enable seamless integration into existing automation setups, minimizing downtime during system upgrades.
Within automation architectures, the IC660TBD025 acts as a bridge between the control system and field equipment, ensuring accurate signal transfer for real-time monitoring and control. Its fire-retardant housing (UL94 V-0 rating) and -40°C to +70°C operating range make it suitable for demanding environments, from manufacturing plants to offshore platforms. By providing a reliable termination point for cables, this module enhances system maintainability and reduces the risk of connection failures, contributing to overall operational efficiency.

Main Features and Advantages: GE IC660TBD025
Reliable Termination Design: The IC660TBD025’s screw-down terminals provide secure connections that withstand vibration and thermal expansion, reducing the risk of loose wires and signal interruptions. This design is critical for maintaining consistent operation in machinery with high mechanical stress, such as conveyor systems or rotating equipment.
Flexible Wiring Configuration: With 25 terminals, the module accommodates a mix of power and signal wires, supporting both analog and digital signals. Its polarity and function markings (e.g., +24V, GND, I/O channels) simplify wiring diagrams and troubleshooting, even for complex control setups.
Industrial-Grade Durability: Constructed with flame-retardant materials and a rugged housing, the IC660TBD025 resists dust, moisture, and chemical exposure. Its wide temperature range ensures reliability in extreme environments, from cold storage facilities to high-heat processing zones.
Easy Integration and Maintenance: The module’s DIN rail mounting and compatibility with GE’s 90-30 Series racks enable quick installation alongside other PLC components. Its removable terminal blocks allow for easy wire replacement or modification without disturbing adjacent connections, reducing maintenance time.
Cost-Effective Connectivity: By consolidating multiple terminations into a single module, the IC660TBD025 optimizes control cabinet space and reduces wiring complexity. This efficiency translates to lower installation costs and simplified inventory management for spare parts.

Installation and Maintenance: GE IC660TBD025
Pre-installation Preparations:
Before installing the IC660TBD025, verify that the control cabinet is properly grounded and the DIN rail is securely mounted. Ensure the ambient temperature falls within -40°C to +70°C and that the wiring gauge (22–12 AWG) matches the terminal ratings. Label wires according to the wiring diagram to avoid confusion, then insert the module onto the DIN rail, pushing until it clicks into place. Tighten the mounting screws to secure it firmly.
