The Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation 1336-BDB-SP2D PCB gate drive board is a spare part for drives from the 1336 series of products. This printed circuit board (PCB) is a vital part of any 1336 drive providing support and connectivity for electronic components. The part can be used with all of the adjustable frequency AC drives from the 1336 series, including 1336 PLUS, PLUS II, IMPACT, FORCE, and REGEN. The 1336-BDB-SP2D part has a rated input voltage of 460 Volts AC and power of 10 Horsepower. The 1336 module can be fitted with A, B, C, D, and E frame sizes. The part’s designated number by the manufacturer is 1336-BDB-SP2D, with the number 1336 indicating the drive series that it is compatible with. The drive’s alternative part number is 74103-244-52.

The drive board operates and is powered according to operating voltage of the adjustable frequency AC drive. The board is made for 1336 drives with a nominal Horsepower rating range from 3 to 800 Horsepower and input voltage rating from 200 to 240 Volts AC and up to 500 to 600 Volts AC. The 1336-BDB-SP2D PCB gate drive board and other components of the 1336 drive are enclosed in an IP20 (NEMA 1), IP65 (NEMA 4) or an IP54 (NEMA 12) type of enclosure. Also, some variations of the 1336 drive are put in an open type enclosure (IP00). The drives from the 1336 series of products, even though they are used in a harsh industrial environment, do not require a lot of maintenance. If the users follow the instructions for installation and operation and act according to user’s manual, there is no need for replacing the main components of the drive. However, if such a need occurs as a result of system failure or equipment damage, the components such as the 1336-BDB-SP2D gate drive board must be considered important for the operation and control of much bigger systems. The replacement of the gate drive board requires re-initialization.
