Product Description

The GE DC Power Connect Board DS200PCCAG1ABB serves as an interface between the drive and the SCR power bridge.  Static electricity can build up in the DS200PCCAG1ABB board and damage the board if guidelines are not adhered to that mitigate the static build up. For example, always wear a grounding strap when you handle, touch, or move the board.  And before you install the board, keep it in the static-protective bag. Touch the bag to an unpainted metal surface and keep it against the surface for a few seconds.

If you happen to be replacing the board in cold dry weather take extra caution against static. You’ll find that static builds up easily in those weather conditions.  And, always place the board on the package it came in. It protects against static and will prevent damage to the board.  Have the package out and flattened if you need to put it down during installation.

Ribbon cables are flat wide cables that carry multiple signals from one device to another and are often used to carry signals on a board. However they tend to be delicate and require special handling instructions to prevent damage. The wires in ribbon cables are often thin and not designed for rough handling. When you disconnect a ribbon cable do not pull the connector out by pulling the ribbon cable. Instead, place you hand on the connector attached to the ribbon cable. Then disconnect by pulling the connector out of the connector on the board.
