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 we use. See the Specifications tab for more information.
The PhidgetInterfaceKit 0/16/16 has sixteen digital inputs and sixteen digital outputs.
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.
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 low-side switch to a shared 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.
Open collector digital outputs behave like a solid-state relay that switches a line to ground.
