Product Description:

The B & R Automation’s manufactured APCNT1/3 PC Unit is used to support operation in heavy-duty industrial environments. This unit comes with a 24 V nominal input voltage to support steady operation for a wide range of control systems.

This APCNT1/3 PC Unit incorporates both ceramic capacitors and electrolytic capacitors to address numerous electrical requirements. The 680 µF, 16 A electrolytic capacitor provides a high capability in power filtration and storage of energy. The ceramic capacitor uses SMD technology to ensure compactness and low signal path resistance. This unit also features short-circuit, over-current, and over-temperature protection to offer integrated security and uninterrupted operation during conditions of voltage fluctuation or component stresses. This PC unit utilizes a multilayer FR-4 industrial-grade printed circuit board, known for its resistance to temperature and mechanical strength. This board supports both surface mounting and through-hole mounting options to allow versatility for different assembly orientations. Measuring 14 cm x 6 cm x 2 cm and light enough, weighing only 0.1 kg, the APCNT1/3 PC unit is perfect for installation in small areas.

For cooling, the Automation PC Unit APCNT1/3 employs a passive aluminum heatsink to facilitate efficient heat dissipation without active air flow or mechanical components. This APCNT1/3 PC Unit maintains stable operation over a wide range of temperatures, from 25 °C to +70 °C, and supplies stable operation in cold as well as hot industrial environments. This PC unit has two kinds of connectors for flexible integration of a system. One is a 2x3 (6-pin) shrouded male box header with a 2.54 mm pitch used for standard ribbon cable and modular plug-in use. The other is a 2-pin surface-mount JST-style connector, which offers a space-efficient interface for power or signal input.

Frequently Asked Questions about APCNT1/3:

Q: Why does the APCNT1/3 include both SMD and Through-Hole mounting?

A: It enables mixed-technology PCB assembly for better mechanical strength and electrical performance. This allows flexibility in production and repair processes.

Q: How does the multilayer FR-4 PCB benefit the APCNT1/3?

A: It supports high-density circuit routing and improved thermal stability. This ensures signal integrity and long-term reliability under industrial stress.

Q: Why is the 2.54 mm pitch important in the box header connector?

A: It aligns with standard ribbon cable connectors. This ensures compatibility with a wide range of interface modules.

Q: How does the passive heatsink in APCNT1/3 enhance durability?

A: It dissipates heat silently without moving parts, reducing failure risk. This supports continuous operation in sealed or fanless enclosures.

Q: What role does the 680 µF, 16 A capacitor play in APCNT1/3?

A: It filters high-load current fluctuations and supports voltage stability. This helps maintain performance during transient loads.
