IC3600SLEH1G1B: GE Speedtronic Mark I-II Logic Element Card
The IC3600SLEH1G1B is a logic element card from General Electric's earliest Speedtronic turbine control platform, the Mark I / Mark II (IC3600) generation. These panels predate the microprocessor-based Mark IV and later systems: control and protection functions were built up from discrete, hardwired logic and analog cards plugged into a card nest. The SLEH is one of the logic building blocks in that architecture, and this listing covers the IC3600SLEH1G1B in clean, tested, used condition.
Where the SLEH Logic Element Card Sits in the Mark I-II Control Set
Reference descriptions of the SLEH describe a card that performs hardwired combinatorial logic. Each basic circuit is an 'OR' logic element gated by two 'AND' gates: when either AND gate sees all of its inputs at logic '1', the element's output goes to '1'. The card carries three of these circuits, and each one can drive a relay or driver output that closes a connection to a common terminal when its output is true. The inputs are high-level signals, and an OR-E expander input lets you extend a gate directly on the standard inputs by pairing the card with an expander such as the LLXA. There is also provision for tying the logic into external annunciators. Reference listings show the SLEH on a 51-pin edge connector.
In practice, cards like the SLEH implement the permissive, sequencing and protective logic strings that a Mark I-II turbine relies on the "if these conditions are all true, energize that output" decisions that were once wired in relays and later moved onto plug-in logic cards.
Diagnose Before You Buy: Is the Logic Card Really the Fault?
The most common mistake on a 40-plus-year-old Speedtronic panel is condemning a logic card for a problem that lives somewhere else. Because the SLEH output is simply the logical result of its inputs, an output that "won't come on" is very often the card correctly holding its output low because one of the AND-gate inputs is missing. Before ordering a replacement, work through the cheap checks first:
-
Confirm the logic supply. Verify the regulated DC that feeds the logic nest (from the Speedtronic power-supply cards). A sagging rail makes good cards look dead.
-
Check the inputs at the card, not just the output. If an upstream signal or companion card is not delivering a '1', the logic is behaving correctly. Trace the input that is missing.
-
Reseat and clean the edge connector. Oxidized or contaminated gold fingers on the 51-pin connector are one of the single most frequent real faults on cards of this age. Reseating often restores a "failed" card.
-
Test the downstream device. A relay or annunciator that will not pull in may be a bad coil or wiring, not the driver on the SLEH.
-
Identify which of the three circuits is affected. Only one of the card's three circuits may be misbehaving; confirming which one keeps you from chasing the wrong signal.
Only when the inputs are present, the supply is good, the connector is clean and the downstream load is healthy does the logic card itself become the likely suspect.
Reading the IC3600SLEH1G1B Part Number and Revision
The number breaks down as the base function code IC3600SLEH, a variant group (1G here), and a trailing revision character the "B" in 1G1B. Related SLEH stock appears as IC3600SLEH1, IC3600SLEH1F and IC3600SLEH1G, and the final letter distinguishes hardware revisions and dash levels of the same card. When you order, match the entire string including the trailing revision to the card in your panel, rather than assuming any SLEH will drop in.

Companion and Related IC3600 Logic Cards
The SLEH is part of a broader set of Mark I-II logic and expander boards. The LLXA expander pairs with the SLEH's OR-E input to add gate terms, and other logic-element and interface cards populate the same nest. You can browse the wider range on our GE Mark I-II IC3600 Cards page, and see the full turbine-control lineup under GE Speedtronic Turbine Control Boards. If you are unsure which companion card a symptom points to, tell us the behavior and we can help narrow it down.
