Allen-Bradley 1336-MOD-KB010 Dynamic Brake | Replacement, Equivalent & Selection Guide
The Allen-Bradley 1336-MOD-KB010 is a Dynamic Brake option module designed for the 1336 PLUS / PLUS II family of AC drives. It provides controlled deceleration by dissipating regenerative energy through an external resistor, protecting the drive bus from overvoltage during fast stops. This page serves as a comprehensive selection, replacement, and sourcing reference for engineers and procurement teams.

Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
When the original 1336-MOD-KB010 is unavailable or discontinued, the following alternatives may be considered depending on drive series and application requirements:
- 1336-MOD-KB020 – Higher-capacity dynamic brake module for 1336 PLUS II; suitable when increased braking torque is needed
- 1336-BRF-SP10A – External brake resistor assembly compatible with 1336 PLUS series; used when internal module is supplemented externally
- PowerFlex 70 / 700 Dynamic Brake Modules – Next-generation Rockwell platform; requires drive upgrade but offers improved performance and support lifecycle
- Third-party dynamic brake choppers – Generic IGBT-based brake choppers rated to match drive bus voltage (typically 650–800 VDC for 480 VAC drives); must be sized to match resistor and duty cycle
Note: Always verify bus voltage rating, current capacity, and physical compatibility before substituting any brake module.
Why Choose the Original Model
- ✅ Guaranteed compatibility with 1336 PLUS / PLUS II drive firmware and hardware slots
- ✅ Factory-validated performance — no integration risk or parameter re-tuning required
- ✅ Plug-and-play installation into the designated option slot
- ✅ Full Rockwell Automation documentation and support available
- ✅ Maintains warranty and service agreement compliance for existing installations
Typical Applications
- Conveyor systems requiring rapid, controlled stops
- Hoists, cranes, and vertical lift applications with regenerative loads
- Centrifuges and high-inertia rotating equipment
- Packaging and material handling lines with frequent start/stop cycles
- Pump and fan drives where overvoltage protection is critical
System Compatibility
| Drive Series | Compatible | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1336 PLUS | ✅ Yes | Primary target platform |
| 1336 PLUS II | ✅ Yes | Verify option slot revision |
| 1336 IMPACT | ⚠️ Check | Consult Rockwell documentation |
| PowerFlex 40 / 70 | ❌ No | Different module architecture |
| PowerFlex 700 | ❌ No | Requires PF700-specific brake module |
Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to confirm the 1336-MOD-KB010 is the correct choice for your application:
- Step 1 – Identify your drive: Confirm the nameplate reads 1336 PLUS or 1336 PLUS II.
- Step 2 – Check option slot availability: The drive must have an open option module slot.
- Step 3 – Determine braking duty cycle: For light-duty (occasional stops), KB010 is typically sufficient. For heavy-duty or continuous braking, evaluate KB020 or an external resistor assembly.
- Step 4 – Size the brake resistor: Select an external resistor matched to the drive’s HP rating and deceleration time. Refer to Rockwell publication 1336-5.9 for resistor sizing tables.
- Step 5 – Verify firmware revision: Some early 1336 PLUS firmware revisions may have module compatibility restrictions — confirm with the drive’s series letter.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I use a third-party dynamic brake chopper instead of the 1336-MOD-KB010?
A: Yes, in principle — but you must match the DC bus voltage, current rating, and ensure the chopper’s trigger threshold is compatible with the 1336 drive’s bus voltage range. Third-party units may also require external wiring changes.
Q: Is the 1336-MOD-KB010 still in production?
A: This module is part of the legacy 1336 platform, which Rockwell Automation has moved to end-of-life. Surplus and refurbished stock remain available through industrial distributors like Konmask.com.
Q: What brake resistor should I pair with this module?
A: Refer to Rockwell publication 1336-5.9 for resistor sizing. As a general rule, select a resistor rated for the drive’s peak braking current and the required duty cycle (typically 5–10% for standard applications).
Q: Can this module be used with a PowerFlex drive?
A: No. The 1336-MOD-KB010 is mechanically and electrically specific to the 1336 PLUS / PLUS II option slot architecture and is not compatible with PowerFlex drives.
Q: Do you offer a warranty on refurbished units?
A: Yes — refurbished units come with a 90-day functional warranty. Contact us for full warranty terms.
