Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
When the original 1336-PB-SP6C is unavailable or discontinued, the following alternatives may be evaluated depending on drive frame size and firmware revision:
- 1336-PB-SP6C — Direct OEM replacement (this listing)
- 74101-181-51 — Rockwell internal assembly number, same board
- 1336-PB-SP6 — Earlier revision; verify firmware and connector compatibility before substitution
- 1336-PB-SP6B — Intermediate revision; check drive nameplate for compatibility
- Third-party remanufactured boards — Must match PCB layout, connector pinout, and precharge timing parameters
⚠ Always cross-reference the drive’s nameplate, frame size, and firmware version before ordering a replacement. Contact Konmask.com for a free compatibility check.
Why Choose the Original Model

- Industrial service centers performing drive refurbishment and exchange programs
- Process industries: water treatment, HVAC, conveyor systems, pump & fan control
System Compatibility
- Drive Series: Allen-Bradley 1336 PLUS (1336F), 1336 PLUS II (1336S) — verify frame and catalog suffix
- Control Platform: Compatible with RSLogix 5000 / Studio 5000 managed systems where 1336 drives are integrated via DeviceNet or hardwired I/O
- Power Range: Applicable across standard 1336 PLUS horsepower ratings where this precharge board variant is specified
- Not compatible with: 1336 IMPACT, 1336 FORCE, or PowerFlex series without engineering verification
Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to confirm the correct precharge board for your 1336 PLUS drive:
- Step 1 — Identify drive catalog number: Locate the full catalog number on the drive nameplate (e.g., 1336F-BRF050-AN-EN)
- Step 2 — Confirm frame size: The precharge board variant is frame-dependent; SP6C applies to specific frame sizes — consult the 1336 PLUS User Manual (publication 1336 PLUS-6.2)
- Step 3 — Check board revision: Inspect the existing board’s silkscreen or label for revision suffix (SP6, SP6B, SP6C) to ensure like-for-like replacement
- Step 4 — Verify firmware: Some board revisions require minimum drive firmware versions — confirm with Rockwell TechConnect or Konmask.com support
- Step 5 — Contact us: Provide your full drive catalog number and we will confirm compatibility before shipment
