About the F31X170TBSACG1

The F31X170TBSACG1 is a PCB component fabricated by General Electric for their general purpose drive systems. Among these is the DC-300 drive. The DC-300 drive and other similarly-aged drives are typically considered obsolete, but they were originally designed as dynamic and flexible systems capable of use within industrial settings. The F31X170TBSACG1 board has a secondary board number (531X170TBSADG1) and belongs to the 531x series of boards. The F31X170TBSACG1 is a TB Option Board.  It is a narrow, long board (2.75 x 11 inches,) with mounting holes drilled at each corner and along the board edges. The surface is etched with several codes including VA-4, 005/0, 004/0, 002/0,  and FR00/0. The primary components on the F31X170TBSACG1 are two terminal strips of different sizes.  One of these is the length of the board and has 54 screw connections. The other has 21 screw connections.  Each board connection is individually noted on the board surface with a number and a label. Other components include:

• three header connectors (9-pin, 16-pin, 24-pin,)
• a male and a female cable connector
• a stab-on connector
• two switch components
• a relay
• an inductor coil
• one capacitor
• a jumper switch
• one rectifier diode

The relay is marked DS2E-M-DC24V. This is a programmable relay with gold-clad twin contacts to ensure stable contact resistance. Each of the switch components has four individual toggles located on its top surface. Installation procedures for this board are available through manufacturer data sheets, user guides or manuals.   Please follow all handling procedures as recommended by GE.
