IC660BRD021
GE
Overview
The IC660BRD021 is a 24/48 Volts DC sink block from GE. It is part of GE's industrial automation product portfolio.
Application & Technical Notes
As a 24/48 volts dc sink block, the IC660BRD021 is intended for deployment in panel-based control cabinets and machine enclosures where the GE product portfolio equipment is installed. It performs a defined automation function within the control system and is selected to match the installed GE platform.
Key published characteristics include an operating temperature range of 0 to 60 degrees Celsius. These values should be confirmed against the current manufacturer datasheet before final selection, as options and suffixes vary by configuration.
Maintenance & Diagnostics
Respect the published operating temperature window (0 to 60 degrees Celsius); do not exceed it during commissioning or in enclosed panels without airflow. Inspect terminals and connectors for corrosion or looseness, and confirm the module seats correctly in its carrier. Always de-energise the circuit and follow lock-out/tag-out before handling; refer to the official instruction bulletin for service procedures.
Sourcing & Procurement
When sourcing the IC660BRD021, distinguish three supply tiers: (1) genuine GE stock from an authorised distributor; (2) compatible equivalents or surplus/NOS (new-old-stock) from third parties; (3) alternative parts offering equivalent function. Genuine supply carries the full warranty and traceability; compatible or alternative items may be cheaper but should be validated for form, fit, firmware and certification before use in a live system. PLCXpert publishes this page as an independent reference and does not sell the part — verify every claim with the manufacturer or your distributor.
Confirm mechanical and electrical compatibility with your GE product portfolio installation and the intended function. Lead times and pricing vary by region and lifecycle status; obtain a current quote from an authorised channel rather than relying on stale listings.

Specifications (source data)
GE 24/48VDC SINK BLOCK FOR RDCY The GE Fanuc IC660BRD021 I/O block is a 24 pr 48 Volts DC rated sink block. The number of circuits on the IC660BRD021 I/O block is 16. Technical specifications for IC660BRD021 Brand GE Fanuc Series Genius I-O Part Number IC660BRD021 Product type 24/48 Volts DC sink block Circuits 16 24/48 Volts DC input impedance 5.6 kiloohms 24 Volts DC input impedance 1.8 kiloohms Operating temperature 0 to 60 degrees Celsius Storage temperarure -40 to 100 degrees Celsius Processing time 1.7 milliseconds plus filter delay Description The IC660BRD021 I/O block is a GE Fanuc 24 or 48 Volts DC rated sink I/O block. The applications for the IC660BRD021 I/O block include use with solid-state and electromechanical type sensors. The IC660BRD021 I/O block is a 16-circuit I/O block. With a 24 Volts DC power supply, the input turns on when the voltage is between 0 and 8 Volts DC and it turns off when voltage is between 17 and 24 Volts DC. With a 48 Volts DC power supply, the input turns on when voltage is between 0 and 16 Volts DC and turns off when the voltage is between 34 and 48 Volts DC. The typical input impedance is 5.6 kiloohms for 24 and 48 Volts DC and 1.8 kiloohms for just 24 Volts DC. The typical input processing time is 1.7 milliseconds plus the selectable filter delay time.
The IC660BRD021 I/O block supports multiple input diagnostics, including open wire, overtemperature, and failed switch diagnostics. The IC660BRD021 I/O block has 16 circuits, and each circuit can be configured as an output, as in input, or as a tristate input. The control power comes from the I/O devices that are wired to the terminals. A separate power block is not required. The recommended storage and operating temperature ranges are -40 to 100 degrees Celsius and 0 to 60 degrees Celsius, respectively. The vibration rating for the IC660BRD021 I/O block is 5 to 10 Hertz or 10 to 200 Hertz. The IC660BRD021 I/O block is compatible with any hand-held monitor. The IC660BRD021 I/O block is open equipment and it needs to be installed inside a protective enclosure. The area where the block is installed should be clear of airborne contaminants.
