Utility Plug
€3.50 - €14.00The Utility Plug is a small board to interface any of the ports on a JeeNode to an RJ-12 jack.
The kit includes the following extra components, to handle a variety of simple interfacing and signal-conditioning scenarios:
- 2x 100 Ω, 2x 1 kΩ, and 2x 10 kΩ resistors (1/6 watt)
- 2x 1N4004 diodes, as rectifier or kickback protection
- 2x 2N4401 transistors, can switch up to 500 mA @ 40V
- 2x 5mm LEDs, one red and one green
- 1-meter 6-core cable, with a RJ-12 connector on one end
The RJ-12 jack on this PCB can also be used with RJ-11 cables (commercial or home-made) with only 4 of the 6 wires hooked up. In this case PWR and IRQ will not be connected, only AIO, DIO, +3V, and GND.
The Kit version comes with all the parts needed, including the RJ-12 jack, and 1 meter of flat white cable with one RJ-12 connector attached. Note that no 6-pin headers are included.
The Pack of 4 contains four plug boards plus four RJ-12 jacks. Add your own components, headers, connectors, and cables.
The PCB only variant contains just the board for the Utility Plug. No parts, no headers.
The documentation and full design details are freely available.
