GE IC200CHS025 Compact Spring-Type I/O Carrier

Product Description

The GE IC200CHS025 is a compact spring-style I/O carrier designed for VersaMax PLC systems, offering secure and efficient mounting for digital and analog modules. It enables fast and reliable tool-free wiring, making it ideal for space-constrained control panels. Moreover, its vertical orientation supports modular installation, allowing up to 32 I/O connections in a single carrier. This carrier ensures robust mechanical support while maintaining seamless electrical connectivity between I/O modules and the backplane.

In addition, the spring-loaded terminals reduce installation time and minimize wiring errors. The carrier’s compact dimensions allow flexible placement within industrial cabinets, and its DIN rail mounting ensures stability and ease of integration. Engineers can easily expand system capabilities by snapping multiple carriers together, creating a scalable node for both analog and digital signal management.
