Product Description
The GE I/O TC2000 Analog Board DS200TCCAG2A features one 80196 microprocessor and multiple PROM modules. It also contains one LED and 2 50-pin connectors. The LED is visible from the side view of the board. The IDs for the 50-pin connectors are JCC and JDD. The GE I/O TC2000 Analog Board DS200TCCAG2A also is populated with 5 34-pin connectors.
The 50-pin and the 34-pin connectors use ribbon cables to connect to the board. Because of the potential for multiple 34-pin ribbon cables that will be connected to the new board, it is important to know where they connect when the new board is installed. To know where to connect them, mark on the ribbon cables where they are connected on the old board with a marker or make labels for them. Use the connector IDs to identify where to connect them.
Another consideration with ribbon cables is the proper handling technique when you disconnect them from the board. Ribbon cables have minimal support between the connector and the cable attached to them. It is easy to pull the wires out of the connector if you tug the cable out of the connector on the board. To avoid that problem, only pull the cable out by holding the connector at the end of the ribbon cable. Gently pull it out of the connector on the board. Adding to the problem is that the ribbon cable is comprised of multiple individual strands of copper wire. Without taking the ribbon cable apart it is impossible to know if the connections are intact.
