GE Fanuc IC694TBB132 Box‑style Terminal Block

The GE Fanuc IC694TBB132, also cataloged as the IC694TBB132 terminal block, serves as an extended box‑style wiring interface for discrete and analog field termination within GE Fanuc control platforms.

Hardware Specifications

DIN‑rail Mounting Stability

As a GE Fanuc wiring accessory, the IC694TBB132 aligns with industrial mounting practices for PLC enclosures. The extended box‑style housing maintains stable retention on DIN‑rail or panel‑mounted carriers, minimizing vibration‑induced loosening. The terminal geometry reduces surge‑voltage stress on conductor entries, and the cover provides additional protection against accidental contact during cabinet maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the IC694TBB132 support hot‑swap? A: No. As a passive terminal block, wiring changes must be performed with the system de‑energized to avoid unintended circuit transitions.

Q: Are stranded conductors acceptable? A: Yes. The block supports both solid and stranded #14–26 AWG conductors.

Q: How tight should terminal screws be torqued? A: The specified torque is 7 lb‑in to ensure proper clamping without damaging the conductor.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Maintain the specified 0.310 in strip length to ensure full conductor engagement.
• Torque all terminals to 7 lb‑in to prevent intermittent connections under vibration.
• Use ferrules for fine‑strand conductors when permitted by site standards.
• Ensure the 13 mm cover is fully seated to prevent accidental contact with energized wiring.
• Route incoming conductors to avoid sharp bends near the terminal entry points.
• Verify wire gauge compatibility before landing any field wiring.
