Interface
FIELD EQUIPMENT
INTERCONNECTIONS
Interface modules are industrial inter-
connect devices which expand tradi-
tional terminal block I/O functions by
incorporating the blocks, high-density
electronic connectors, and often addi-
tional electronic components into a rail-
mounted printed board assembly.
The modules simplify interconnections
between system I/O cards and field
equipment while reducing installed cost
and upgrading installation reliability.
They are available in standard configura-
tions, or can be readily built-to-order by
Amphenol Pcd to customer requirements.
Basic Construction
The interface module consists of four
key elements:
1) A standard board-mount ter minal
2) An multiple pin electronic connec-
3) Electronic components—typically
4) The structural platform, consisting of

block, similar to those presented on
pages 10---70 of this catalog, which
serves as the termination for discrete
control wires emanating from oper-
ating equipment. Depending on the
application, blocks may be one-
piece or separable plugs and head -
ers.
tor—D-Sub, ribbon cable, RJ style,
Centronic or DIN—which links the
module to the controller, drive or
other host device. In some applica-
tions a relay ser ves as the controller,
and plugs directly into a socket inte-
gral to the module.
diodes, LEDs, resistors or capaci-
tors—which perform signal modifi-
cation and monitoring functions may
be included.
a multi-layer printed circuit board
that includes all circuitry, to which
the components are precision
soldered, and a mounting system
which houses the board and secures
to a standard DIN track. Alter nate
mounting systems are available.

Advantages and Benefits
By replacing discrete terminations
with a single pluggable connection,
and providing an alter nate to DIN
style terminal blocks in many applica-
tions, custom and standard interface
modules offer users a variety of bene-
fits.
• Reduced wiring time
• Reduced wiring errors
• Faster troubleshooting and easier
• Increased volume and productivity
• Reduced wire preparation and
• Simplified panel layout
• Reduced space needs
• Fewer parts, lower inventory

Introduction and Application
INTERFACE MODULES
Custom Modules
Amphenol Pcd welcomes the oppor tu-
nity to coordinate with customers in
developing and supplying customized
interface modules tailored to specific
applications. Since Amphenol Pcd
supplies the bulk of the ter minal blocks
utilized as a key module element,
prompt delivery and economical cost
are assured.
Modules can be built entire ly to
customer specifications, or based on
Amphenol Pcd engineering input and
recommendations on mechanical or
electronic design requirements.
Standard delivery, including review of
customer requirements and an Amphenol
Pcd proposal, is six weeks from inquir y
time, assuming no customer delay in
proposal review. In emergencies,
Amphenol Pcd has demonstrated the abil-
ity to turn around and deliver customized
interface modules in less than two weeks.
