Description
Product Introduction
The Foxboro P0916JY (RoHS designation RH916JY) is a 16-channel DIN-rail Termination Assembly (TA) engineered specifically for the Foxboro 200 Series I/O subsystem. Operating as the primary field-wiring interface for the FBM242 externally sourced discrete output module, the P0916JY translates raw field wiring into pre-fabricated baseplate cable connections.
Equipped with heavy-duty compression screw terminals, the P0916JY provides secure landing points for field actuators, solenoids, interlocks, and motor starters. It eliminates complex point-to-point cabinet wiring by connecting directly to the FBM baseplate via standard multi-conductor cables (such as the P0916DB series).

Application Scenarios & The “Trench” Experience
The Trench Story
During a fast-track boiler controls migration, engineers needed to wire 16 heavy solenoid actuators to new DCS discrete outputs. Rather than landing wires directly inside tight card cages, the crew mounted P0916JY termination assemblies onto the cabinet’s vertical DIN rails. The robust compression screws easily held the 14 AWG field leads, while pre-fabricated multi-pin cables plugged directly into the FBM242 baseplate. The entire 16-point bank was landed and tested in under 30 minutes with zero cabinet cross-talk.
Target Application Scenarios
- Solenoide & Relay Control: Interfaces FBM242 output cards to high-current field solenoids, interlocks, and pilot lights.
- Marshalling Cabinet Simplification: Centralizes field field landings on cabinet side-rails while keeping active I/O cards isolated on main baseplates.
- High-Density Output Isolation: Provides isolated termination pathways to prevent field electrical noise or surge spikes from reaching backplane buses.

Transparency SOP: Quality Assurance & Testing
Every P0916JY termination assembly undergoes a strict 5-stage workbench validation process prior to dispatch:
- Inbound Mechanical & Terminal Inspection: Visual audit of all 16 channel screw terminal blocks, checking for stripped thread tracks, cracked housing plastic, or loose connector pins.
- Automated Point-to-Point Continuity Testing: High-speed circuit testing confirms 100% path continuity from each terminal screw to the multi-pin cable connector pinout.
- High-Voltage Insulation & Isolation Test: Megohmmeter testing verifies galvanic channel-to-channel and channel-to-ground isolation.
- Live FBM242 Load Pass-Through Test: Connected to a live module and baseplate on our test rig, verifying clean signal switching across all 16 output channels under load.
- Anti-Static ESD Packaging: Cleared modules are contact-cleaned, dried, and sealed in heavy anti-static ESD shielding bags prior to custom foam packaging.
The Veteran’s Tech Trap Guide
- ⚠️ Confirm FBM Module Compatibility ( Only):
The is wired specifically for the 16-channel discrete output module. Do not attempt to use this TA with 8-channel modules or analog cards without verifying the exact Foxboro PSS pinout.
- ❗ Verify External Power Wiring:
Because the uses externally sourced power for its outputs, ensure the external power feed is properly fused and landed on the designated TA terminal posts.
- ⚠️ Do Not Over-Torque Compression Screws:
Use appropriately sized insulated screwdrivers when landing field wires to avoid stripping the compression cage screws on the terminal blocks.
- ❗ Check RoHS Part Numbers ( vs. RH916JY):
is the standard Foxboro hardware part number, and
RH916JYis Schneider Electric’s RoHS-compliant equivalent. Both are 100% functionally and mechanically identical.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is the main function of the Foxboro termination assembly?
A: The provides DIN-rail mounted compression screw terminal landings for up to 16 discrete field output devices controlled by a Foxboro module.
Q: What is the difference between and RH916JY?
A: “” is the standard Foxboro part number, while “RH916JY” is Schneider Electric’s RoHS-compliant (lead-free) equivalent. They are pin-for-pin identical and completely interchangeable.
Q: Does the come with the termination cable included?
A: No, the termination cable (e.g., P0916DB series) that connects the TA to the FBM baseplate is sold separately according to your required cable length.
Q: What warranty covers these pre-tested units?
A: Every / termination assembly includes a full 12-Month Functional Warranty. If the unit experiences hardware failure under normal operating parameters within 365 days, an immediate unit replacement or full credit is provided.
