The 1336-BDB-SP3A Gate Drive PCB (Printed Circuit Board) is used as a power amplifier device in the 1336 variable frequency drives that are manufactured by Allen-Bradley. It can take a low power input and generate a high current drive input for the gate drive. This current can then be used to power different components of the drive. The 1336-BDB-SP3A PCB is a spare part module for the 1336 series drives manufactured by Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation. The board comes with a power rating of 15 Horsepower. It runs with a voltage rating of 460 Volts AC in normal loading conditions. The maximum operating temperature of the PCB should not exceed 50 degrees Celsius and the altitude should not exceed 1000 meters above sea level. The 1336-BDB-SP3A PCB is manufactured by using different small components. To connect the gate drive PCB to the main control board, jumper connectors must be used. The PCB can be installed into the 1336 drive on the back panel of the drive.

The compact size of the 1336-BDB-SP3A PCB adds to the portability of the board from one place to another. It weighs around 5 pounds and it comes in a small size. The board should be protected against liquid sprays and splashes. No official IP rating has been provided to this gate drive PCB. The input and output power connection are made by using the TB1 terminal block on the board. The 1336-BDB-SP3A PCB is equipped with 2 fuses on it which need to be checked before making any replacements. The fuse should be in an open condition.
