About the 531X300CCHAXM3
The 531X300CCHAXM3 is a PCB component manufactured by GE for several older drive systems designed for general purpose use. Among these are the DC-300 drive and similar drives. These older drives are now sometimes obsolete but were originally designed as complex, flexible systems for use in a variety of industrial applications.
The 531X300CCHAXM3 is one of several Control Cards released as part of the 531X series of boards. This PCB is marked with codes like 003/0, 004/0, ctb 89-29, 005/0, VA-4, and FR00/0. It also carries the board’s alternate board number, F31X300CCHAXM3, and the manufacturer logo.
The 531X300CCHAXM3 has eight standoffs built into the surface of the board. These standoffs accept screw connections and allow two auxiliary boards to connect to the board surface. Six male vertical pin cable connectors are scattered across the board’s surface; some of these will be used to allow communication between the auxiliary boards and the motherboard. The 531X300CCHAXM3 also has two stab-on connectors and several single terminal-pin connectors.
Other components placed on the 531X300CCHAXM3 surface include eight potentiometers, a push button switch, jumper switches, and resistor network arrays. The board has six red LED indicators. It has eleven transistors and dozens of integrated circuits, including oscillating chips and operational amplifiers. Much of the board’s surface is covered by ceramic or polyester vinyl capacitors, diodes, and metal film resistors. The board also has an inductor, and uses surface wiring in several locations. More information on the board may be found through GE publications like series user guides and data sheets. Please follow all safety and handling recommendations.
