This module is identically the same as the 2.5mm breakout module, except the output connection is a 3-position terminal block output. This is a different module to accommodate a twisted-pair wire connection. To review the 2.5mm module, here is its description to cover relevant details for this terminal block version.
This breakout module is a micro slot module that permits the interrupt and measurement, capture, and tap of a small highspeed signal. From as low as 10Hz to millions of cycles (>3MHz), a signal’s strength is monitored, cut, interrupted, or redirected. It also supports polarity reversal from input to output. The signal output is connected to either the 2.5mm barrel output receptacle or the pin header at J7.
The module also supports current measurement through the 0.2-ohm shunt resistor or voltage capture by any available test point. An input signal’s frequency, phase, polarity, current, voltage, and activity are all observable functions made present on this module. The module also provides for a power presence LED.
The bed-of-nails at J2 is loaded with jumper blocks to complete a signal path. This connector is the point of interrupt for any device to locate in-between the input and output. Remove a jumper block for device insertion. Or remove the jumper block from the ground pins at J2 to serve as a ground lift for a floating and balanced connection. This module is a sort of swiss-army-knife of breakout boards for small signal devices.
