Allen-Bradley 1756-TBE Extended Depth Terminal Block

Description

The Allen-Bradley 1756-TBE is an Extended Depth Terminal Block Housing used with the ControlLogix 5580 Programmable Automation Controller (PAC) from Rockwell Automation. It’s not an actual module but rather an accessory for increasing the physical space available for wiring connections within the ControlLogix system.

Here’s a breakdown of its key aspects:

Purpose:
Provides additional depth for wire routing in an existing 1756 Removable Terminal Block (RTB) series module.
Useful for applications requiring heavy gauge wiring or complex connections that need more space.

Specifications:
Part Number: 1756-TBE
Compatibility: Works with all 1756 RTB series modules.
Depth Increase: Adds 17.91 mm (0.705 in) compared to the standard housing.
Material: Polycarbonate

Features:
Easy installation: Snaps onto an existing RTB module.
Maintains the same width and height as the standard housing.
Provides clear labeling area for easy identification.
Meets UL, CE, and C-UL standards for safety and regulatory compliance.

Applications:
Industrial automation systems with complex wiring requirements.
Applications requiring heavy gauge wiring connections.
Situations where space within the standard RTB housing is limited.
