Allen-Bradley 1336-BDB-SP6A Drive Control Board Repair/Replacement Kit

Technical Specifications

Main Features and Advantages

Engineered for Reliability and Precision: The ROCKWELL 1336-BDB-SP6A​ is built with industrial-grade components to ensure long-term stability and precise timing in its gate drive signals. Accurate and consistent gate driving is paramount for minimizing IGBT switching losses, reducing heat generation, and preventing shoot-through conditions that can destroy the power module. This board incorporates essential protection features such as desaturation detection and soft-shutdown circuits, which help safeguard the expensive IGBTs during fault conditions, thereby protecting the broader drive investment.Seamless OEM Compatibility and Ease of Installation: Designed as a direct, plug-and-play replacement, this kit guarantees perfect electrical, mechanical, and functional compatibility with the 1336 FORCE drive chassis. The 1336-BDB-SP6A​ eliminates the guesswork and compatibility risks associated with third-party or generic boards. It comes as a fully assembled and tested unit, significantly simplifying the repair procedure. Technicians can confidently replace a failed board, knowing that the drive’s performance, communication with the main controller, and all protective functions will be fully restored to the manufacturer’s original specifications, ensuring system integrity.Critical for System Longevity and Uptime: Utilizing the genuine ROCKWELL 1336-BDB-SP6A​ kit is a proactive maintenance strategy. Replacing a failing gate drive board before it causes secondary damage is far more cost-effective than replacing an entire IGBT power module or dealing with extended production downtime. This kit provides a reliable, long-term solution that restores the drive’s health, ensuring consistent motor control, optimal efficiency, and preventing the erratic operation that can stem from weak or faulty gate drive signals, ultimately maximizing the uptime of the critical machinery it controls.

Application Field

The ROCKWELL 1336-BDB-SP6A​ PCB Gate Drive Board Kit is specifically applied in the repair, overhaul, and preventative maintenance of Allen-Bradley 1336 FORCE AC drives deployed across a vast range of industries. These drives are renowned for their robustness and are commonly found controlling fans, pumps, compressors, and conveyor systems. Therefore, the application of this kit spans industries such as Mining and Minerals, where it keeps critical material handling conveyors and slurry pumps operational; Water and Wastewater Treatment, for the control of aeration blowers and transfer pumps; and HVAC in large commercial or industrial facilities, ensuring the reliable operation of chillers and cooling tower fans.The kit is essential in manufacturing settings like Automotive, Food and Beverage, and Pulp & Paper, where 1336 FORCE drives regulate process machinery, mixers, and production lines. Its use becomes critical during unplanned downtime events caused by gate drive board failure. Technarians and service providers utilize the 1336-BDB-SP6A​ to perform board-level repairs, which is a faster and more economical alternative to replacing an entire drive. It is also a key component in depot repair services and life-cycle extension programs for aging but still viable 1336 FORCE drive assets, allowing plants to maintain legacy equipment with genuine performance parts, thereby avoiding costly and disruptive system upgrades.
