Interface and Board Details

The 51304540-200 connects to the host chassis through a backplane connector and board-to-board contacts. Active buffer stages strengthen weak signals before they travel across the backplane. Therefore, technicians gain stable continuity even with long trace runs. The board slides into a card cage slot and secures with standard fasteners.

Physical and Environmental Parameters

The board measures roughly 168 mm by 102 mm by 23 mm and weighs about 0.28 kg. Its thin profile fits dense card cages and simplifies panel layout. Meanwhile, the 0°C to 60°C operating range covers typical control room conditions. The on-board capacitors filter local power and absorb transient spikes.

Why This Board Matters

Plant teams value the 51304540-200 for its hybrid signal path and easy replacement. The active buffers keep signal levels steady across dense backplane routing. As a result, data errors decline and equipment uptime improves noticeably. Technicians also appreciate the clear silkscreen markings and simple mounting scheme.
