About the F31X175SSBADG1
The F31X175SSBADG1 is a board component manufactured by GE to fit into several of their general purpose drive systems like the AC-300 or the DC-300. These drives are now typically considered obsolete. However, they were considered flexible, dynamic systems with the ability to be used for a variety of industrial applications. The F31X175SSBADG1 is marked with codes like 004/0, 005/0, VA-4, 2787, and FR00/0. It also carries an alternate board number of 531X175SSBADG1. The F31X175SSBADG1 functions as a Dual Channel BIU Series Six Interface. The board has:
- a right-angled multi-pin connector along the bottom edge
- 36 conductive copper pads extending from the top edge
- a toggle switch
- two right-angled LED indicator
- a board edge labeled “Solder direction” with an arrow
- factory-drilled corners
The body of the F31X175SSBADG1 is populated by two switch components with a single toggle per switch. There are 18 jumper switches on the board surface, as well as a transistor, three resistor network arrays, multiple resistors, capacitors, and diodes, along with over fifty integrated circuits. ICs are marked with their manufacturer logo and with their part number for easy identification. ICs include oscillating chips and bus drivers. More information on board operation, installation instructions, and handling procedures can be found in GE publications like user guides, manuals, and data sheets.
