Product Description
Benshaw BIPC-300032-08 Replacement Starter Control Card — MX2 & MX3
The Benshaw BIPC-300032-08 is a replacement starter control card (control-side PCB) associated with Benshaw MX2 and MX3 low-voltage reduced-voltage soft starters. When a fault, power event, or aging hardware takes the control side of an MX2- or MX3-based starter offline, a control-card replacement can restore the unit to service without replacing the entire starter assembly — retaining the existing power stack, enclosure, and field wiring. Because Benshaw starter cards are part-number- and revision-specific, verify the full part number printed on your existing board before ordering (see below).

About This Replacement Card
The BIPC-300032-08 is supplied as a field-replacement starter card for Benshaw MX2- and MX3-based low-voltage soft starter installations. It is ordered when the control side of a starter needs replacement but the power section remains serviceable — allowing the existing power stack, enclosure, and wiring to stay in place. Benshaw control cards are specific to the part number and revision they were built with, so confirming the exact card on your unit is the critical step before ordering. If you are unsure, contact Kent Electrical Supply with your starter model and serial number, or the full part number printed on your installed board, and we will confirm the correct card.
About Benshaw MX2 and MX3 Low-Voltage Control
Benshaw's MX2 and MX3 are intelligent low-voltage solid-state motor control platforms used across its RC, RB, and RX-series soft starters. Per Benshaw's published literature, MX2-based controls offer multiple user-selectable starting modes, configurable digital and analog I/O, comprehensive built-in metering, and onboard motor protection. MX3 adds capabilities including a real-time clock, expanded programming, an event log, and RTD support, and is designed so that controller, power components, software, and sensors operate as an integrated control system. The BIPC-300032-08 is associated with these platforms; the exact card required for any given starter depends on that unit's configuration and board revision.
Compatibility
Associated with Benshaw MX2 and MX3 low-voltage reduced-voltage soft starter platforms. Fitment depends on the specific starter and the card part number/revision it was built with — confirm against your existing board before ordering. Call 800.222.5129 or text an RFQ to 484.425.0652 with your starter model and serial for verification.

Why Replace the Control Card Instead of the Starter
- Lower cost of repair: A control-card replacement typically costs far less than a complete soft starter replacement.
- Retains existing hardware: Keeps your installed power stack, enclosure, cabling, and panel layout in place.
- Faster return to service: Swapping a control card is a far smaller job than removing and re-commissioning an entire starter.
- Platform association: Associated with both MX2 and MX3 based low-voltage installations — confirm the exact card for your unit before ordering.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Benshaw BIPC-300032-08?
The BIPC-300032-08 is a replacement starter control card (control-side PCB) associated with Benshaw MX2 and MX3 low-voltage soft starters. It is ordered as a field replacement when the control side of an MX2- or MX3-based starter needs replacement but the power section remains serviceable.
What soft starters is the BIPC-300032-08 compatible with?
It is associated with Benshaw MX2 and MX3 low-voltage reduced-voltage soft starters. Because Benshaw cards are part-number- and revision-specific, confirm the full part number and revision on your existing board, or contact Kent Electrical Supply at 800.222.5129 with your starter model and serial number, before ordering.
Can I replace just the control card instead of the whole soft starter?
In many cases, yes. When a starter's power section is intact but the control side needs replacement, fitting the correct replacement control card can return the unit to service without replacing the entire starter — keeping your existing power stack, enclosure, and wiring in place, and typically at far lower cost. Confirm the correct card for your unit before ordering.
What is the difference between the BIPC-300032-08 and the BIPC-300032-01?
Both are Benshaw BIPC-300032 series cards; the suffix (–08 versus –01) is part of the full part number and denotes a different card. The BIPC-300032-01 is obsolete and has been replaced by the BIPC-300032-08. The correct card for your starter depends on the exact part number printed on the board currently installed. If you are unsure, contact Kent Electrical Supply with your existing card's full part number and we will confirm the match.
Does MX2 and MX3 association mean the same card fits both platforms?
Not necessarily. The BIPC-300032-08 is associated with both the MX2 and MX3 platforms, but fitment depends on the specific starter and the card part number/revision it was built with. Always verify against your installed board before ordering as a field replacement.
Is the BIPC-300032-08 in stock?
Current stock status is shown on this page. When in stock, orders ship from Kent Electrical Supply in Emmaus, PA — see the listing for current lead time. For quantity pricing, expedited requirements, or help confirming the right card, call 800.222.5129 or text an RFQ to 484.425.0652.
