• A 3060 - USB Isolator

Connection Examples

The USB Isolator is designed to protect your PC from harmful voltage that can flow from attached devices to your PC through the USB cable. The isolator is inserted between the Phidgets board and your PC. Using the isolator you can protect your PC from relays, motor controllers, LED controllers, etc. Any system that includes external power supplies, motors, ... etc is subject to potentially harmful voltage flowing into your PC. The USB Isolator can also be used to eliminate problems caused by ground “voltage” differences between USB Host and USB devices. Here are some examples showing how to connect the USB Isolator.

Relays: 1014 - PhidgetInterfaceKit 0/0/4 (Low Speed)
#Connect the InterfaceKit to the USB type A connector on the USB Isolator board using a USB or mini-USB cable depending on the board version of your InterfaceKit. Select USB low speed using the toggle switch. Connect the USB ISolator to your PC using a mini-USB cable.		File:Placeholder.jpg
