|
10 Pin Ribbon Cable '48-EX-RC'. Order with receptacles to match the total board stack. |
10 pin ribbon cable is required with the order of 48-EX boards. The cable is long enough to vertical stack or horizontal mount the boards. | |
Links: Power SuppliesNote: External power supplies usually required when driving external loads. |
||
Please inquire if you have a custom requirement for interfacing! Turn around can be a little as two weeks.
| Note: External Supply Voltage: An External Power Supply is needed to power the loads on the output connector. Do not connect any loads that have their own power that exceeds the power as applied to the board using the 'Ext. Power Connector'. Doing so may result in damage to the board. I.E. Suppose that 12 volts is supplied to this board and you have a relay board with it's own power of 24Volts DC that powers the relays. The 24VDC will feed back into the board via the foldback diodes. Note: Foldback diodes are required for inductive loads such as relays or small motors. |
