GE IC695PSD140A – Your No-Nonsense 24VDC Power Supply for VersaMax PLC Systems
If you’ve ever had a production line halt because of a flaky power supply, you’ll appreciate how this GE module just… works. I’ve seen these quietly power conveyor systems and packaging lines for years where cheaper alternatives would’ve choked on voltage spikes. It’s not flashy – it’s the reliable workhorse your PLC cabinet needs.
Why This Power Supply Stays On Your Radar
- Dual-output stability – Delivers clean 5VDC (3A) for logic and 24VDC (1A) for I/O simultaneously. One customer in automotive stamping told me their old supply would brown out during welder surges; this handles it like a champ.
- Thermal resilience – Operates down to -25°C (great for cold storage facilities) and up to 70°C without derating. From my experience, that extra 10° buffer over competitors saves headaches in cramped control panels.
- DIN rail simplicity – Snaps on in seconds with no tools. You might notice the alignment tab prevents wobble during forklift vibrations – a small thing that matters in real factories.
- Diagnosis made visible – LED status indicators show power, faults, and overload conditions at a glance. No more multimeter dances during midnight breakdowns.

Where It Pulls Its Weight
You’ll typically find these in food processing plants where washdown cycles demand stable power, or in material handling systems with constant motor starts/stops. One bottling plant client switched from a generic supply after losing product during voltage dips – they’ve run 18 months without a hiccup since. It’s not for high-amp robotics, but for standard PLC racks? Absolutely solid.
The Real Value in Your Procurement Stack
Look, you could save $50 with an off-brand module, but then you’re gambling on downtime costs. This GE unit gives you direct VersaMax compatibility – no weird firmware dances. And that 365-day warranty? In my experience, most industrial PSUs cap at 180 days. Plus, the dual outputs mean you avoid stacking extra power modules, saving cabinet space and wiring headaches.
Installation & Maintenance Reality Check
Mount it on standard 35mm DIN rail with at least 10mm clearance on sides for airflow – I’ve seen too many failures from cramming panels full. Avoid placing near VFDs without shielding; electromagnetic noise can creep in. For maintenance? Wipe vents quarterly (dust kills electronics), and check terminal torque annually. Firmware updates aren’t needed – it’s analog-stable, which is honestly refreshing.
Certifications & Peace of Mind
CE, UL 61010-1, and RoHS certified – no customs headaches. The 365-day warranty starts when you install it (not shipment date), which matters if you’re stocking spares. One thing I appreciate: GE’s support team actually answers technical calls instead of pushing you to forums.
Ordering & Guarantees – No Surprises
50% upfront gets it moving – in-stock units ship in about a week, though complex orders take up to 4 weeks max. Pay the balance when it’s ready to ship (not when it arrives). We use FedEx/UPS/DHL with full tracking. If it arrives damaged? Report within 48 hours and we’ll replace it – no arguing over “shipping damage” clauses.
