The PhidgetInterfaceKit 0/16/16 is a general-purpose controller suitable for a wide range of applications.
The digital inputs can interface with devices like push buttons, limit switches, relays, and other logic-level outputs. They are activated by an external voltage, triggering on a wide voltage range from 4-30VDC. Each input includes hardware filtering to prevent false triggering caused by electrical noise.
The relay outputs can control devices requiring substantial power, such as incandescent lights, high-power LEDs, relays, solenoids, motors, and more. Each output can switch up to 30VDC at up to 2A. The outputs act as a low-side switch to a shared ground, so the circuit you're switching will need an external power supply. Each output is protected from transient voltages typical when switching inductive devices like relays, solenoids, and motors.
Note: The 1012_3 is functionally identical to the 1012_2, but some specifications have changed due to component shortages affecting the parts used. See the Specifications tab for details.

Use a USB cable to connect this Phidget to your computer. We have a number of different lengths available, although the maximum length of a USB cable is 5 meters due to limitations in the timing protocol. For longer distances, we recommend that you use a Single Board Computer to control the Phidget remotely.
