PhidgetInterfaceKit 0/16/16

• PhidgetInterfaceKit 0/16/16
• Controlled By: USB (Mini-USB)
• Current Consumption Min: 14 mA
• Number of Digital Inputs: 16
• Digital Input Impedance: 33 kΩ
• Used to check the state of switches and push buttons

The PhidgetInterfaceKit 0/16/16 is used to check the state of switches and push buttons, and/or to switch relays, solenoids, and LEDs.

Digital Inputs: The Digital Inputs are activated by an external voltage source, triggering on a wide voltage range: 4 to 30VDC. They provide built-in filtering, to eliminate false triggering from electrical noise. They can be used to convey the state of on/off devices, such as push buttons, limit switches, relays.

Digital Outputs: The Open Collector Digital Outputs can be used to directly control substantial devices, switching up to 30VDC at up to 2 Amps. The Output acts as a switch to ground, so the circuit you're switching will need an external power supply. Each output is protected from transient voltages typical when switching inductive devices - relays, solenoids, motors. The Outputs can be used to directly control devices requiring substantial power such as incandescent lights, high power LEDs, relays, solenoids, motors.

Note: The 1012_3 is functionally the same as the 1012_2B, but some of the specifications have changed due to components shortages changing the parts used.
