Features:
- Connects one VersaMax I/O module through a 36-pin cable interface.
- Routes up to 32 I/O signals plus four common or power connections.
- Positions the attached module vertically on the DIN-rail assembly.
General Electric IC200CHS003 separates field wiring from the module by using a detachable cable path, which can simplify cabinet routing and module access.
Standard IC200CBL cable assemblies cover several lengths, while the IC200ACC304 connector kit allows a custom harness when the cabinet layout requires one.
Keying dials and the module latch coordinate fit and retention; isolation restrictions exclude IC200MDL144, IC200MDL244, and IC200MDD850 from this carrier.
The General Electric IC200CHS003 VersaMax Connector-Style I/O Carrier may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Cable Interface Details
- Connector: A 36-pin interface links the carrier to the field-wiring cable.
- Signal Paths: Thirty-two positions serve I/O signals and four positions serve common or power connections.
- Cable Range: IC200CBL105, IC200CBL110, IC200CBL120, and IC200CBL230 provide factory cable choices.
- Custom Harness: IC200ACC304 supplies the mating connector components for a user-built cable.
Module Fit Guidance
- Module Position: The I/O module sits perpendicular to the DIN rail on the connector carrier.
- Keying: Two rotary keys can be set to match the intended module identity.
- Retention: A latch hole lets the installed module lock securely to the carrier.
- Restrictions: Isolation requirements rule out IC200MDL144, IC200MDL244, and IC200MDD850.
Vertical Mounting Practice
- Rail Size: The base snaps onto a 7.5 x 35 mm DIN rail.
- Grounding: A conductive, unpainted, grounded rail provides the intended EMC path.
- Panel Option: Panel screws add mechanical support where shock or vibration is severe.
- Backplane Joint: The mating connector couples the carrier to the preceding VersaMax station element.
Application Considerations
- Cable Cabinets: Use the carrier where field terminations need to be routed away from the I/O module.
- Service Access: The detachable harness supports module access without disturbing individual field conductors.
- Vertical Layout: The perpendicular module position suits panel designs planned around narrow carrier width.
- Custom Routing: The connector kit accommodates harness lengths or breakouts not covered by standard cables.
