Overview

The IC670CHS004 is an of component Thermocouple Terminal Block from GE. It is part of GE's industrial automation product portfolio.

Application & Technical Notes

As an of component thermocouple terminal block, the IC670CHS004 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.

Specific electrical and mechanical ratings depend on the exact configuration and suffix of the part; the original datasheet should be consulted for the definitive specification.

Maintenance & Diagnostics

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 IC670CHS004, 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

THERMOCOUPLE COLD JUNCTION COMPENSATION BASE GE Fanuc Field Control CHS004 IC670C The GE Fanuc IC670CHS004 Thermocouple Terminal Block works as a connection interface and a junction compensation module for the correct connection of thermocouple signals in millivolts to the GE Fanuc I/O modules that are used to process that type of input. It comes from the factory with 20 connection pins which should be properly grounded in order to perform their function correctly. Technical specifications for IC670CHS004

Description

Note	The GE Fanuc IC670CHS004 Terminal Block is a solid-state terminal block specifically designed for thermocouple signal connection into the GE Fanuc Field Control Station. It serves as an interface that permits the reception of millivolt voltages like the ones commonly transmitted by temperature sensors. This terminal block serves the purpose of a junction compensation circuit for thermocouples sensors that are employed as field devices for the Field Control thermocouple modules. The thermocouple sensors are connected through screw terminals in the GE Fanuc IC670CHS004 Thermocouple Terminal Block. The thermocouple modules are mounted in a different I/O terminal block, and need to use proprietary wiring and connectors in order to process the signals coming from the thermocouples sensors in the field through the GE Fanuc IC670CHS004 Thermocouple Terminal Block. The main advantage of using the IC670CHS004 Thermocouple Terminal Block in temperature-measuring applications is that it isolates the temperature reading from the application process, thus compensating for any interference present in the circuit, such as the temperature variations caused by the circuit electronics' generation of heat. The GE Fanuc IC670CHS004 Thermocouple Terminal Block is able to compensate for this and any other induced temperature variations in the application process by using a pair of built-in thermistors. Two different thermocouple sensors can be installed in a GE Fanuc IC670CHS004 Thermocouple Terminal Block. An important aspect to take into account is grounding because this terminal block needs to have a tight connection to the chassis ground in order to be able to properly compensate for temperature. For physically connecting the incoming cables to the pins, a proprietary tool known as the AMP Pro-Crimper II Hand Tool Assembly 90546-1 is recommended.
