About the F31X170TBSAAG1

The F31X170TBSAAG1 is a Terminal Board Option Card fabricated by GE as a part of their general purpose drive systems, including the DC-300 drive. While many of these systems are considered obsolete at this time, they were originally designed as powerful, flexible drives capable of tasks within industrial environments. This board has an alternate number of 531X170TBSAAG1 and is part of the 531x board series. The F31X170TBSAAG1 is designed with mounting holes drilled at each corner and along the board edge. It is a long and narrow board, measuring 11 by 2.75 inches. It is marked with several codes that include FR02/2, VA-4, and 3886. The F31X170TBSAAG1 has three header connectors and two cable connectors. The cable connectors include one male and one female connector; they are both vertical connectors. Headers include a 24-pin, a 16-pin, and a 9-pin connector. A single stab-on connector is located on the board. The largest components on the F31X170TBSAAG1 are two terminal strips. One of these has fifty-four screw connections while the other has twenty-one. The first terminal strip has its connections individually numbered and labeled near the bottom edge of the board, below the strip. The second has each connection numbered and labeled toward the top edge, above the terminal strip. Other components that appear on the surface of the F31X170TBSAAG1 include:

• a relay
• an inductor coil
• one jumper switch
• a polyester vinyl capacitor
• two switch components
• one rectifier diode

The capacitor is rated 200V 10+/- 10%. The switch components each have four toggles that can be set either to DTF or to DCE. The relay is marked DS2E-M-DC24V.  It has gold-clad twin contacts and is suitable for use in difficult environments. More information about the board, including installation procedures, may be accessed through GE publications like manuals and data sheets.
