Key Technical Specifications
This GE DS200TCQAG1A DS200TCQAG1AEC board operates from a 24V DC power supply. It distributes power to 12 fused output channels for RST systems. The unit measures 24 cm in length, 18 cm in width, and 4.5 cm in height. Its total weight reaches 0.8 kg without any packaging materials.
The GE DS200TCQAG1A DS200TCQAG1AEC includes 12 fuse holders for individual channel protection. Additionally, it features one main input fuse for overcurrent protection. A single 6-pin terminal block connects the main DC input. The board contains 12 fuses, 12 status LEDs, 1 bus bar, 12 resistors, and 24 terminal positions.

GE DS200TCQAG1A DS200TCQAG1AEC does not include onboard energy storage. Instead, it relies on external power supplies for filtering. This design minimizes heat generation inside the distribution panel. Therefore, the board maintains a cool operating temperature even at full load.
Design and Integration
Both the GE DS200TCQAG1A and DS200TCQAG1AEC versions share identical power distribution layout. These boards use two-layer PCB construction with heavy 4 oz copper for the main bus. Consequently, the GE DS200TCQAG1A DS200TCQAG1AEC operates reliably from -10°C to +60°C ambient temperature.
For installation, you need M3 screws for the four mounting holes. The board draws 20 mA typical current for LED indicators only. Each output channel provides individual fuse protection against short circuits. We recommend using 18 AWG wire for the main input connection.
Practical Application
This power distribution board supplies control power to multiple RST system devices from one source. It feeds sensors, relays, and logic circuits with protected branch circuits. The GE DS200TCQAG1A DS200TCQAG1AEC also provides visual blown-fuse indication for each channel. Therefore, it simplifies panel wiring and improves maintenance efficiency in RST control systems.
