FOXBORO P0916CC
Product Introduction
Reliable field wiring is critical for maintaining precise control over final elements like control valves and VFDs. The is a compression terminal assembly designed specifically as the field wiring interface for the FBM237 8-channel analog output module. It acts as a robust, passive bridge between the control system and field actuators, ensuring that critical 0-20mA DC output signals are safely and reliably routed.
Field technicians consistently prefer this compression-style design over traditional screw terminals because it maintains a gas-tight connection in high-vibration environments, drastically reducing maintenance callbacks for loose wires. The direct FBM channel mapping and clear labeling also streamline loop checks and module swaps, minimizing downtime during outages.
Key Selling Points & Differentiators
- Engineered as the dedicated wiring interface for the FOXBORO analog output module; not recommended for other FBM types due to specific pinout and mechanical keying.
- Vibration-Resistant Compression Terminals: Utilizes a screw-compression mechanism that stays tight under thermal cycling and mechanical shock, preventing intermittent output signals to control valves.
- Passive & Maintenance-Free: Contains no active electronics or firmware; requires only periodic visual inspection and torque verification, ensuring long-term reliability.
- Rigorous Live Bench Testing: Every unit undergoes point-to-point continuity checks, insulation resistance testing, and mechanical torque verification before shipping.
- New Surplus Availability: Factory-sealed condition with verified source traceability, bypassing typical OEM lead times for discontinued I/A Series hardware.
- Anti-Counterfeit Verification: Serial numbers are checked against manufacturer databases during incoming inspection to guarantee authenticity.

FAQ
No. The is specifically designed for the analog output module. The FBM201 (0-20mA AI) uses the P0916AA, and the FBM203 (RTD Input) uses the P0916AE. Always match the terminal assembly to the exact FBM part number to avoid wiring errors and signal issues.
Yes, upgrading to the compression terminal assembly is highly recommended for high-vibration areas like compressor stations or pump skids. However, verify that your field cabling uses the correct conductors and that the overall dimensions fit your existing cabinet layout.
Do I need to configure anything in the control strategy for this terminal assembly?
No. The is a purely passive wiring interface with no firmware or configuration parameters. All output scaling, fault-safe actions (hold last value, drive to 0 mA), and redundant AOUTR block configurations are handled in the I/A Series control builder for the companion module.
What happens if I don’t use ferrules on the field wires?
While the compression terminals can accept bare wire, using ferrules is strongly recommended to ensure a gas-tight connection and prevent strand fraying. Always follow site wiring standards and use the specified torque to avoid damaging the terminal or creating a high-resistance joint.
Is there a warranty on this new surplus unit?
Yes. All new surplus modules come with a standard 12-month functional warranty. If the unit fails during normal operation within that period, we provide a direct replacement. We also include our internal test report with every shipment so you can verify the continuity and mechanical test results before installation.
