Bourns Evaluation Board Evaluation Kit for RS-485 Serial Device Port RS-485EVALBOARD3

This evaluation board serves as an aid in evaluating circuit protection on RS-485 serial device port solutions using Bourns® TBU® High-Speed Protectors (HSPs), Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs) and Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) products designed to meet the required industry standards on RS-485 port interfaces. The recommended Bourns® TBU® HSP solution offers enhanced performance features over competing technologies, which can help the design engineer to increase the surge and transient protection level on RS-485 ports, placing the entire circuit protection solution into a smaller PCB area. Bourns has developed an RS-485 evaluation board (measuring 53.5 mm x 25.3 mm x 0.85 mm) manufactured using an FR4 PCB with nickel gold plating on the top and bottom sides.
