MeloAuto-Trusted PLC & DCS Parts Supplier
The GE DS200RTBAG2A DS200RTBAG2AFB relay terminal board connects high-power field devices to Mark V systems. This board provides relay contacts for controlling contactors, solenoids, and alarms. You will find this terminal board in Speedtronic Mark V control cabinets. Its sixteen relays handle both AC and DC loads up to 5 amps.
Relay Output Architecture
This relay board features sixteen independent form C relay contacts. Consequently, it switches multiple high-power devices from a single board. The GE DS200RTBAG2A DS200RTBAG2AFB includes both normally open and normally closed contacts. Moreover, each relay features an LED status indicator. You can monitor output states directly from the board.

Relay Contacts and Status Monitoring
The unit includes high-quality relays with form C contacts. Therefore, each channel provides both NO and NC connections. This board replaces the DS200RTBAG2AFB version without any wiring changes. Simply remove the old board and install this one. GE designed this relay board for single-slot installation. Hence, it fits directly into existing Mark V rack positions.
Four PCB layers separate coil traces from contact wiring. Three connectors handle all ribbon cable, field output, and status signals. The GE DS200RTBAG2A DS200RTBAG2AFB includes suppression diodes across each relay coil. Accordingly, it protects the driver board from inductive kickback. Sixteen LEDs show the energized state of every relay clearly.
Installation and Wiring Guide
You can terminate field wires using standard screw terminals. The terminals accept wire gauges from 22 AWG to 14 AWG. The GE DS200RTBAG2A DS200RTBAG2AFB works with all GE Mark V digital output modules. Always strip 6-8 mm of insulation before inserting wires. Proper torque on terminal screws prevents loose connections over time.
The relay contacts are mechanically isolated from the logic circuits. Do not exceed the maximum contact rating of 5A per channel. The GE DS200RTBAG2A DS200RTBAG2AFB provides reliable high-power switching for turbine systems. Installation requires only a flathead screwdriver for field wiring. This board operates in non-condensing environments with adequate clearance.
