Product Introduction
The GE IC695PSD040M is a high-reliability 40-watt DC power supply module engineered specifically for the PACSystems RX3i automation control platform. Designed to slot directly into an RX3i universal backplane, it accepts a 24 VDC nominal field input and delivers regulated low-voltage power rails (+5.1 VDC, +3.3 VDC, and a +24 VDC relay power output) to support system CPUs, communication modules, and digital/analog I/O cards.
The module incorporates robust self-diagnostic indicators, electronic overload protection, and short-circuit recovery functions to ensure continuous performance in harsh industrial plant environments.

Compliance & Standards Alignment
- Designed for use in industrial Pollution Degree 2 automation environments.
- Features standard conformal coating options (denoted by revision suffixes like ‘M’) to protect internal printed circuit traces against ambient moisture, airborne contaminants, and corrosive gasses.
Technical Note: Only a single IC695PSD040 power supply module can be installed per RX3i universal backplane. It does not support redundant or increased-capacity parallel operation modes on the same backplane channel.
Storage & Asset Preservation Guidelines
- Store the power supply module inside its original antistatic ESD bag to protect onboard switching regulators and logic components from electrostatic damage.
- Keep storage environments clean, dry, and temperature-controlled with a relative humidity level maintained strictly below 60%.
- Avoid mechanical stacking or external physical impact to prevent damage to the plastic housing, front toggle switch, or rear backplane connector pins.
Physical Installation Prerequisites
- Ensure that all external DC power feeds and cabinet input lines are completely de-energized and locked out (LOTO) prior to module handling or installation.
- Insert the module smoothly into the designated power supply slot of the RX3i universal backplane, ensuring complete pin engagement before securing fastening screws.
- Terminate incoming 14 to 22 AWG power conductors securely to the front terminal block, torquing screw connections to manufacturer recommendations (approx. 4.4 in-lb / 0.5 N-m).
Buyer’s FAQ & Logistics
Q: What Harmonized System (HS) code applies to this RX3i power supply module?
A: Industrial automation power supply units and control hardware components generally classify under HS code 8504.40 (Static converters / power supplies) or 8538.90. Confirm proper classification with your customs broker.
Q: Can the IC695PSD040M be used alongside another power supply in the same rack?
A: No. Due to backplane power architecture constraints, only one IC695PSD040 unit can occupy a universal backplane. If system power demands exceed 40 watts, additional expansion or remote backplanes must be utilized.
Q: Is the listed online price final for procurement?
A: Note: Price is subject to market conditions and available surplus inventory levels; contact our technical sales desk for a formal, time-sensitive quotation.
