Design a Custom BoardAbout This Component
Half-duplex RS-485 transceiver IC for industrial communication networks. Supports 3.3V and 5V logic levels with integrated termination resistors and fail-safe biasing. Typical applications include MODBUS networks, building automation, and multi-drop serial communications requiring robust noise immunity over long distances.
Package: SOIC-16 (3.9×9.9mm) · 16 pins
Why does this need a breakout?
The 1.27mm pin pitch on this 16-pin package makes hand-soldering impractical and breadboard mounting impossible. A breakout board brings the pins to standard 2.54mm spacing, enabling quick prototyping of RS-232/RS-485 transceivers, ADCs, and line drivers without requiring surface-mount soldering skills or PCB fabrication.
