Application & Technical Notes
As an automation component, the IC693TCM303 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 a range 18 to 30 Volts DC rating, an operating temperature range of 0 to 55 degrees Celsius (32 to 131 degrees Fahrenheit). 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 55 degrees Celsius (32 to 131 degrees Fahrenheit)); do not exceed it during commissioning or in enclosed panels without airflow. For storage and transit, keep the unit within -40 to 85 degrees Celsius (-40 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit). 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 IC693TCM303, 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.

The temperature control module is intended for special application purposes and it is used with programmable control products like the GE RX3i PAC systems. The IC693TCM303 module is made for harsh industrial environments and it allows for vibrations of up to 3.5 millimeters at 5 to 9 Hertz (or 1 G of vibration at 9 to 150 Hertz) along with 15 G of maximum shock for 11 milliseconds (3-axis positive and negative). The IC693TCM303 module provides exceptional temperature control for 8 channels and it is programmed to operate in either a closed-loop or open-loop mode. The unit has 8 input channels and 8 DC output channels.
The IC693TCM303 temperature control module has a thermocouple type of input and it has an output voltage rating of 18 to 30 Volts DC. The unit uses an internal power of 150 milliAmps at 5 Volts DC and it is built for operation on DC power. The IC693TCM303 module has a load current of 100 milliAmps per point and an off-state leakage rating of 0.1 milliAmps maximum. The module also features an overload threshold current of 700 milliAmps typical with 2 milliseconds minimum and a thermocouple impedance of 35 Ohms maximum.
