Manufactured by Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation, the 1336-BDB-SP2A Gate Drive PCB is a replacement part for the 1336 AC drive product line. This board is an essential requirement for the 1336 AC drives because it provides all the necessary support and connectivity the drives need for the electronic components. The Gate Drive PCB is compatible with the Allen-Bradley 1336 Adjustable Frequency AC Drives, including the 1336 IMPACT, PLUS, REGEN, PLUS II, and FORCE drives. The  Allen-Bradley 1336-BDB-SP2A Gate Drive PCB uses an input voltage rating of 460 Volts AC, with a Horsepower rating of 10 Horsepower.

The 1336-BDB-SP2A Gate Drive PCB operates on and is powered by the corresponding adjustable frequency AC drive that it replaces. It is designed and intended for use with the 1336 AC Drives with a nominal Horsepower rating of 3 to 800 Horsepower, with an input voltage range of 200 to 240 Volts AC or up to 500 to 600 Volts AC. There are different enclosure ratings for the 1336 drives that use the 1336-BDB-SP2A Gate Drive PCB such as the IP 20 NEMA Type 1, IP 65 NEMA Type 4, or the IP 54 NEMA Type 12 enclosure ratings. The 1336 AC Drives features the open type enclosure rating. Although such drives are used in a harsh industrial environment, they do not need much maintenance. When the installation process and other guidelines in the user manual are all observed, there is no need to replace the key components of the drive. Nevertheless, if there is such a need due to system failure or damage of the equipment, the 1336-BDB-SP2A Gate Drive PCB must be considered as an essential component for the operation and control of bigger industrial systems.
