The B.E.M-ISAD20 is a new RS-232C isolator with superior isolation properties. Power is derived from the interface signals. The B.E.M-ISAD20 is intended for simple TxD / RxD connection (hardware handshake is not supported).
The B.E.M-ISAD20 isolator is specifically designed to qualify for application in an IEC 601-1-1 system environment. For instance, to connect hi-tech equipment used in an operating room (S3 environment). The device does not have metal parts that can be touched. The B.E.M-ISAD20 is provided with 9-pin male plastic shell D connectors at both sides. Jumpers inside allow individual setting for DTE / DCE operation mode.
The B.E.M-ISAD20 offers extreme low leakage currents and low coupling capacitance (<2pF). The device may operate with continuous voltage differences up to 2kV DC / 2.5kV AC (50-60Hz). Stress conditions are tested and guaranteed up to 10kV DC (10 sec.).
