PC/104 - USB Digital

Counter/Timer

OEM USB/104 FORM FACTOR

What makes the OEM option unique is that its PCB size and mounting holes match the PC/104 form factor (without the bus connections).

This allows our rugged counter/timer board to be added to any PCI-104 or PC/104 stack by connecting it to a simple USB port usually in-

cluded on-board with embedded CPU form factors such as EBX, EPIC, and PC/104 - especially important since

many newer CPU chipsets do not support ISA and have plenty of USB ports. Future stacks will be using the ex-

tremely fast PCI Express bus which is essentially overkill for simple digital monitoring and control. The USB-CTR-15

OEM board can also be added into many pre-existing standard PC/104 based systems and enclosures. The OEM

(board only) version is perfect for a variety of embedded applications. The board's pre-drilled mounting holes allow

for installation using standoffs inside most enclosures or systems.

High Retention USB Connector

The ever-growing presence of USB in the industrial/military marketplace has driven the need for USB connections to be reliable, dependable,

and unfailing. Gone are the days of loose USB connections. A type B USB connector is used on all USB/104 products which features a high

retention design that complies with the class 1, Div II minimum withdrawal requirement of over 3 pounds of force (15 Newtons). This connec-

tor has an orange color-coded insulator to quickly differentiate it from standard USB connectors. Using these USB connectors increases

reliability in your system and ensures a tight connection. For embedded OEM type applications, an additional miniature USB input header is

provided in parallel with the type B connector.
