  • A 3060 - USB Isolator

Connection Examples

The USB Isolator is designed to protect your PC from harmful voltage that can flow from attached devices to your PC through the USB cable. The isolator is inserted between the Phidgets board and your PC. Using the isolator you can protect your PC from relays, motor controllers, LED controllers, etc. Any system that includes external power supplies, motors, ... etc is subject to potentially harmful voltage flowing into your PC. The USB Isolator can also be used to eliminate problems caused by ground “voltage” differences between USB Host and USB devices. Here are some examples showing how to connect the USB Isolator.
