Phidgets - 1012 - PhidgetInterfaceKit 0/16/16

Phidgets are an easy to use set of building blocks for low cost sensing and control from your PC. Using the Universal Serial Bus (USB) as the basis for all Phidgets, the complexity is managed behind an easy to use and robust Application Programming Interface (API). Applications can be developed quickly in Visual Basic, VBA (Microsoft Access and Excel), LabView, Java, Delphi, C and C++.

RoHS Compliant

PhidgetInterfaceKit 0/16/16

The PhidgetInterfaceKit 0/16/16 provides:

  • 16 Digital Inputs - with hardware noise filtering - sensing up to 30VDC
  • 16 Digital Outputs controlling up to 30VDC
  • LED indicators on all I/O channels

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 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, and 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.

Comes packaged with:

  • A 3001 - 180cm USB Cable
  • A mounting hardware kit
