The 1756-TBCH detachable terminal block is designed for seamless integration with ControlLogix systems, providing the necessary connectivity solutions. This terminal block is perfectly matched with the Bulletin 1756 I/O module, enhancing the modularity of industrial automation systems. Its low-profile housing design effectively utilizes space, meeting the compact design requirements of modern control systems.
The 1756-TBCH employs a cage-like clamping system for robust cable management. This design supports single-wire and dual-wire connections, offering flexibility for various installation scenarios. It can be directly mounted on the front of the I/O module for easy maintenance and upgrades.
The 1756-TBCH Allen Bradley Removable Terminal Block (RTB) may still be available for purchase and support from Moore Automated Company beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Single wire connection: 0.33…2.1 mm2 (22…14 AWG) solid or stranded copper wire rated at 105 °C (221 °F), or greater, 1.2 mm (3/64 in.) insulation max. Do not wire more than one conductor on any single terminal. Double wire connection: 0.33…1.3 mm2 (22…16 AWG) solid or stranded copper wire rated at 105 °C (221 °F), or greater, 1.2 mm (3/64 in.) insulation max. Do not wire more than two conductors on any single terminal.
Wiring Sequence: Always wire from the bottom terminals (pins 35/36) upwards. This ensures unobstructed access to the top terminals and facilitates operation with hand tools.
Stress Relief: Securely fasten thick multi-core field cables with cable ties using the built-in bottom mounting slot.
Physical Keying: Mechanically connect the RTB to its designated module using the plastic keying wedges on the edge connectors. This prevents installers from accidentally plugging AC terminals into low-voltage DC or analog cards.
High-Density Cabling Considerations: If you are using the maximum gauge wire (14 AWG) on all 36 pins, the standard housing included with the 1756-TBCH may make cabling too crowded. It is recommended to replace it with a deeper housing (1756-TBE) to easily accommodate denser cabling.
