GE DS200RTBAG3A

Product Name: GE Mark V DS200 Series High-Density Relay Output Termination Board
Introduction: The DS200RTBAG3A is a high-density relay output termination board for GE’s Mark V DS200 series, used in Speedtronic turbine control systems. It provides 48 independent Form C relay outputs arranged as three isolated banks of 16 relays each. The “A” revision upgrades the terminal blocks from cage clamp to screw type. Essentially, it integrates three RTBAG1A boards onto a single PCB with screw terminals instead of cage clamps.

Structural & Material Features: Three independent banks of 16 relays, each with removable screw terminal blocks (pre-installed, color-coded per bank), spare terminal blocks, labeling strips (1–48), bank isolation jumpers installed, torque card, and DIN rail end clips (4).
Application Scenarios: Very dense relay output applications (48 channels) in high-vibration environments; suitable for maintenance teams standardizing on screwdrivers or replacing existing screw-terminal boards.
Installation & Usage Notes: Install in Mark V DS200 series racks. Use three 64-pin ribbon cables to connect to output modules, or use backplane with bank select. Apply proper terminal torque (0.5–0.6 Nm). Do not exceed 5 A resistive / 2 A inductive contact ratings. Keep operating temperature within -30 °C to +65 °C. Preferred in high-vibration environments due to screw terminals.
