16, 32, and 48 Channel Isolated Solid-State Output Cards
16, 32, or 48 individually optically isolated solid-state outputs
Solid-state design permits high-speed switching and long-life expectancy

Switching Time:
Turn-On 50µs
Turn-Off 5µs, inductive-spike protection via a diode
Switch Resistance: 0.4Ω when saturated
Switch Leakage Current: 100 to 300µA
Power Required: +5VDC @ 245mA (48 bits)
*Note on Isolation: Opto-Isolators and connectors are rated for at least 500V, but isolation voltage breakdowns will vary and are affected by factors like cabling, spacing of pins, spacing between traces on the PCB, humidity, dust and other environmental factors. This is a safety issue so a careful approach is required. For CE certification, isolation was specified at 60V DC. The design intention was to eliminate the influence of common mode. Use proper wiring techniques to minimize voltage between channels and to ground. Tolerance of higher isolation voltage can be obtained on request by applying a conformal coating to the board.
