Application Examples:

Features:
- Compatible with RS232/RS485, converts RS232 signal to balanced and differential RS485 signal.
- Stable transmission rate with a stable speed of 300~115200bps
- Onboard unibody power isolation provides stable isolation voltage, and there is no external power supply for the isolated terminal.
- Onboard unibody digital isolation provides signal isolation with high reliability, strong anti-interference, and low power consumption.
- Onboard TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) effectively resists the surge voltage and transient peak voltage in the circuit and provides lightningproof and ESD protection.
- Onboard self-recovery fuse and protection diodes ensure stable output of current and voltage, overcurrent and overvoltage protection, and improve anti-shock capability.
- Onboard RS485 output terminal 120R, switch via jumper caps.
- Onboard power supply screw terminal, supports 5V~36V DC wide-voltage range power input.
- Industrial-grade ABS eco-friendly case, compact size, easy to install, and cost-effective.
