Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
The following models are commonly evaluated as replacements or equivalents for the 1769-PB2. Always verify electrical and mechanical compatibility before substitution:
- 1769-PA2 – Allen-Bradley CompactLogix 120/240VAC input power supply; same bus output, different input voltage
- 1769-PB4 – Allen-Bradley 24VDC input, 4A output; higher current capacity drop-in upgrade
- 1769-PA4 – Allen-Bradley 120/240VAC input, 4A output; AC equivalent with higher current
- 1769-PB2L – Allen-Bradley 24VDC input, left-end mount variant for specific chassis configurations
- Third-party compatible units – Select industrial power supply manufacturers offer 1769-bus-compatible modules; confirm bus connector pinout and output regulation specs before use

- 1769 communication modules (1769-SM1, 1769-SM2, etc.)
Note: Not compatible with MicroLogix 1100/1400 or ControlLogix 1756 platforms.
Selection Guide
Use the table below to select the correct 1769 power supply for your application:
- 24VDC input + 2A bus current needed → 1769-PB2 (this model)
- 24VDC input + 4A bus current needed → 1769-PB4
- 120/240VAC input + 2A bus current needed → 1769-PA2
- 120/240VAC input + 4A bus current needed → 1769-PA4
- Left-end mount required → 1769-PB2L or 1769-PA2L
To calculate required bus current: sum the 5VDC bus current draw of all connected 1769 I/O modules (refer to each module’s datasheet). Add 10–15% margin and select the next power supply tier.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I replace a 1769-PB2 with a 1769-PB4?
A: Yes. The 1769-PB4 is a direct upgrade — same 24VDC input, higher 4A output. It fits the same bus slot with no wiring changes.
Q: Is the 1769-PB2 compatible with CompactLogix 5380 (1769-L3x)?
A: The 5380 series uses a different I/O bus architecture. Verify your controller catalog number before ordering.
Q: Can I use a third-party 24VDC power supply instead?
A: Third-party units may power the 24VDC input rail, but the 1769-PB2 module itself provides the regulated 5VDC I/O bus — this function cannot be replaced by a generic DIN rail PSU.
Q: What is the lead time for the 1769-PB2?
A: In-stock units ship within 1–3 business days. Contact us for current availability.
Q: Do you provide a certificate of conformance?
A: Yes, COC and inspection reports are available upon request at no additional charge.
