Allen-Bradley 1794-TB32 FLEX I/O Terminal Base Unit, 32-Point Cage Clamp
Allen-Bradley 1794-TB32 is a FLEX I/O terminal base unit with cage clamp terminations for 32-point modules, providing 32 I/O connections plus 8 common and 8 +V connections.
Overview
The 1794-TB32 carries the field wiring for 32 I/O points — 8 common and 8 +V terminals included — with a 10 A current rating for applications up to 31.2 V DC and a 24 V DC voltage rating. The bus side outputs up to 640 mA to the FlexBus, accepts an input voltage range of 19.2 to 31.2 V DC, and isolates at 50 V continuous. Cage clamp terminations accept 0.2 to 2.5 mm² wire and grip conductors vibration-proof without screw torque checks.

Applications
The 1794-TB32 is the standard base for high-density 32-point FLEX I/O modules such as the 1794-IB32, OB32P and IO32 combinations. Cage clamp wiring makes it especially attractive in vibrating installations and in panels built by wire-size-automated crimping lines.
