Schneider Electric BMXFTB2010 – 20-Pin Screw Terminal Block | Modicon M340 Platform
Engineering Background: The BMXFTB2010 is a factory-wired screw-type terminal block designed exclusively for Schneider Electric’s Modicon M340 series I/O modules. It provides a robust, field-replaceable wiring interface that eliminates the need to re-terminate field cables during module replacement — a critical advantage in continuous-process and high-availability industrial environments.
Product Positioning: Targeted at automation engineers and maintenance teams operating Modicon M340 PLCs in manufacturing, energy, water treatment, and building automation applications. The BMXFTB2010 is the standard 20-pin variant compatible with discrete and analog I/O modules requiring a 20-terminal connection footprint.

Engineering Advantages
- Hot-swap wiring continuity: Field cables remain connected to the terminal block while the I/O module is replaced, minimizing downtime.
- Screw-clamp reliability: Vibration-resistant screw terminals maintain contact integrity in harsh industrial environments.
- Color-coded labeling: Terminal numbering aligns with Modicon M340 I/O module pinout documentation for error-free commissioning.
- Compact footprint: Designed to fit within standard DIN-rail panel layouts without additional clearance requirements.
- OEM interchangeability: Direct drop-in replacement for existing BMXFTB2010 units in the field — no re-engineering required.
System Architecture & Signal Flow
The BMXFTB2010 connects directly to the front face of compatible Modicon M340 I/O modules (e.g., BMXDDI1602, BMXDDO1602, BMXAMI0410, BMXAMO0210). Field wiring terminates at the screw terminals; signals pass through the connector interface into the I/O module backplane, then via the X-Bus backplane to the CPU (e.g., BMXP342020, BMXP342030). This architecture supports both local rack and distributed rack configurations using the BMXXBP••00 backplane series.
Sourcing & Quality Verification
- All units sourced from authorized Schneider Electric distribution channels or verified OEM surplus with full traceability.
- Each unit inspected for: intact terminal screws, undamaged connector housing, correct part number labeling, and absence of re-marking or counterfeiting indicators.
- Batch documentation available upon request: includes lot number, date code, and certificate of conformity.
- Konmask.com maintains a zero-tolerance policy on counterfeit components — all stock is subject to incoming quality inspection (IQI) protocols.
Procurement Process
- Step 1: Confirm compatibility — verify your I/O module part number requires a 20-pin (BMXFTB2010) vs. 28-pin (BMXFTB2800) terminal block.
- Step 2: Add to cart and select quantity. Volume pricing available for orders of 10+ units — contact support@konmask.com.
- Step 3: Receive order confirmation with estimated lead time (typically 3–7 business days for in-stock items).
- Step 4: Shipment with tracking. Export documentation (commercial invoice, packing list, COO) provided for international orders.
- Step 5: Post-delivery technical support available via email or phone for installation verification.
Technical FAQ
Q: Is the BMXFTB2010 compatible with all Modicon M340 I/O modules?
A: No. It is compatible with 20-pin I/O modules only. Verify your module’s terminal block specification in the Modicon M340 I/O hardware reference manual (DOCA0054EN).
Q: Can I use the BMXFTB2010 with Modicon Quantum or Premium modules?
A: No. The BMXFTB series is exclusive to the Modicon M340 platform. Quantum and Premium use different connector families (140XTS, TSX series).
Q: What wire ferrule type is recommended?
A: Schneider Electric recommends insulated ferrules (DZ5CE series or equivalent) for 0.34–1.5 mm² conductors to ensure reliable screw-terminal contact.
Q: Is the terminal block reusable after module replacement?
A: Yes. The BMXFTB2010 is designed for repeated plug/unplug cycles. Inspect terminal screws for torque compliance after each re-installation.
Q: Do you provide REACH/RoHS compliance documentation?
A: Yes. Schneider Electric’s official REACH and RoHS declarations are available upon request. Contact support@konmask.com with your order reference.
