Key Technical Specifications
This GE DS200IPCSG1A DS200IPCSG1ABB board handles 600V AC maximum voltage rating. It suppresses 50A peak surge currents from inductive load switching. The unit measures 18 cm in length, 14 cm in width, and 3.5 cm in height. Its total weight equals 0.55 kg without any packaging materials.
The GE DS200IPCSG1A DS200IPCSG1ABB includes six independent RC snubber networks for contactor protection. Additionally, it features one common ground bus bar for easy installation. A single 12-pin terminal block connects each snubber across contactor coils. The board contains 6 resistors, 6 capacitors, 6 LED indicators, and 12 terminal positions.

GE DS200IPCSG1A DS200IPCSG1ABB stores minimal energy in each snubber capacitor. Each 0.47 µF capacitor absorbs turn-off transients from contactor coils. This arrangement limits voltage spikes to below 1000V during switching. Therefore, the board protects SCRs and relay contacts from arc damage.
Design and Integration
Both the GE DS200IPCSG1A and GE DS200IPCSG1ABB versions share identical snubber values. These boards use two-layer PCB construction with high-creepage traces for voltage isolation. Consequently, the GE DS200IPCSG1A DS200IPCSG1ABB operates reliably from -20°C to +65°C ambient temperature.
For installation, you need M3 screws for the four mounting holes. The board draws zero control current for normal operation. Each snubber connects in parallel with the load for transient suppression. We recommend mounting the board close to the contactor coils for best performance.
Practical Application
This snubber board reduces electromagnetic interference from contactor switching in control panels. It connects across motor starter coils, relay solenoids, and contactor magnets. The GE DS200IPCSG1A DS200IPCSG1ABB also provides visual LED indication of snubber health. Therefore, it extends the life of switching devices in industrial automation systems.
