Brahma 16020250 GP 458.1N001 PCB (control board)
The Brahma 16020250 GP 458.1N001 is an electronic control board (PCB) for a burner or boiler system. This type of component functions as the burner control (flame safeguard), managing the ignition sequence and enforcing safety times: pre-purge, ignition, fuel admission, flame proving, and lockout on failure. It reads signals from pressure switches and the flame detector (ionisation, UV, or IR) and drives the ignition transformer, gas valve, and fan. In modern wall-hung boilers, such PCBs perform the same role as traditional control boxes and are matched to the specific boiler model. When selecting a replacement of this type, the exact series and type designation must match the original, along with the supply voltage, safety and pre-purge times, flame detection method, and base or plug pattern. A control board is normally not interchangeable across series, even within the same brand; a mismatched safety time creates a safety issue and is not simply a compatibility nuisance. For this article, the catalogue references are 246.568.001, 16020250, and 4110.142. As with all controls of this class, verify that the replacement unit corresponds to the existing system’s electrical and sequence parameters before installation.
