TCP4618-channel 3U CompactPCI serial board
- Configurations
- 6 available configurations
TCP461 is a serial communication board for CompactPCI racks, used when the system has to handle many serial lines towards field instruments and units. The board weighs 0.127 kg and is air cooled.
The versions with back I/O also bring the signals to the J2 connector of the rack, a useful answer when cabling on the front panel is not practical.
The configurations of the family differ in consumption, between 0.25 and 0.35 W, and in the declared MTBF, between 480,000 and 650,000 hours. An example in the catalog is TCP461-10R.
