Relay Card Features

The GE DS200RTBAG2A DS200RTBAG2AHC uses a rugged four-layer PCB. Over 130 resistors, capacitors, and relay drivers process control signals. A single 64-pin DIN connector links this board to the backplane. Consequently, switching commands reach each relay coil quickly. Eight individual LEDs show the status of each relay output. Moreover, flyback diodes suppress voltage spikes from relay coils.

Output and Contact Capabilities

You get eight form C (SPDT) electromechanical relays on this card module. Each relay provides normally open and normally closed contacts. The GE DS200RTBAG2A DS200RTBAG2AHC contacts rate at 5 amps for 250 V AC or 30 V DC. Relay coils operate from the 24 V DC backplane supply. Response time stays under 10 milliseconds for fast switching applications. Therefore, this board controls motors, solenoids, and indicator lights reliably.

Longevity and Protection

Mechanical life reaches 10 million operations under no-load conditions. Electrical life reaches 100,000 operations at full rated load. The GE DS200RTBAG2A DS200RTBAG2AHC includes transient suppression across each coil. As a result, the board protects the backplane from inductive kickback. Always handle this relay card by its edges. This precaution prevents electrostatic discharge damage.

Power and Energy Storage

You must install this board inside a protected Mark V cabinet. The backplane supplies 5 VDC and 24 VDC to the GE DS200RTBAG2A DS200RTBAG2AHC. Ceramic capacitors filter high-frequency noise on power lines. Flyback diodes store no energy but safely dissipate inductive spikes. Consequently, the board delivers reliable switching over millions of cycles.

Mechanical Layout

This relay card module measures exactly 25.4 cm in width. Its height reaches 17.8 cm. The total weight equals just 0.45 kg. As a result, this board saves valuable rack space. The lightweight design also reduces stress on the backplane connector.

Installation Context

This board works alongside other Mark V I/O and processor cards. Its compact size allows easy placement near field wiring terminals. The robust design handles continuous industrial switching. Choose the GE DS200RTBAG2A DS200RTBAG2AHC for your relay output needs.
