The 74101-169-63 is an Allen-Bradley part that belongs to the PCB Gate Drive Board family. This board is intended for use with Adjustable Frequency AC Drives; it operates with 575 Volts AC and gives out 100 Horsepower. Each module fits perfectly with class A, B, C, D, and E frame sizes; note that the 74101-169-63 also has an alternative part number, which is the 1336-BDB-SP33D. The 74101-169-63 drive comes with input power ratings that range from 200 to 600 Volts AC. This module’s outputs occur at frequency ranges between 0 and 650 Hertz, as well as carrier frequencies of between 2 and 12 kiloHertz (kHz). In addition, this module offers a 97.5% efficiency rating, which can effectively be applied to all 1336 series drives, although only the Frame B drives have input conductors. Also available on the 74101-169-63 drive are numerous safety features, which include powder ride through, 150% overload capability that lasts for 60 seconds, and transient protection plus logic ride through. When utilizing the 74101-169-63 drive, ensure that its location features a temperature range of 0 to 50 degrees Celsius. While storing it, however, temperatures of 40 to 70 degrees Celsius may be used.

Suitable for different types of applications, 1336 drives exist in 5 different types, which include IMPACT, FORCE, CLASSIC, PLUS, and PLUS II. All these designs are compatible with the 74101-169-63 Gate Drive Board and are equipped with advanced hardware drive enables that should be placed at the 74101-169-63’s non-programmable input located at Terminal 30. Each board acts as a spare part for a particular drive. Be careful not to open the input, as this may cause the drive to ‘coast to stop’ rather than triggering the drive’s stop mode. Before it starts up, the module will check if the input is available. This great feature is what makes the 74101-169-63 a popular choice among most industrial applications.
