Description

1. Product Title

4A05548G01 16-Channel Low-Current Isolated Discrete Output Terminal Daughter Card for Common Q Class 1E Nuclear DCS System

2. Product Brief Introduction

The 4A05548G01 is NRC Class 1E safety-qualified low-power discrete output terminal subcard customized for Emerson Westinghouse Common Q nuclear safety I&C rack system. It acts as galvanic isolation signal conversion interface between rack discrete output logic boards and field low-power auxiliary loads, including status indicator lamps, miniature signal relays, local alarm annunciators and small interlock auxiliary actuators.
This terminal card receives digital control signals from rack master CPU, converts logic commands into standard isolated drive signals for field low-power equipment. Each channel is equipped with independent galvanic isolation circuit, multi-stage LC EMI filter and built-in freewheeling absorption loop to eliminate back EMF interference of miniature inductive loads, long-distance wiring surge noise and ground loop potential deviation existing in nuclear containment, thermal power auxiliary rooms and petrochemical low-risk auxiliary workshops.
The PCB adopts multi-layer V-0 flame-retardant high-Tg FR-4 material, fitted with standard hard gold-plated backplane gold fingers and anti-corrosion nickel-plated anti-loosening field screw terminals, maintaining stable long-term signal output precision under continuous high-temperature, high-humidity and dusty industrial environments. Every channel integrates independent small current fast fuse protection, reverse wiring blocking and short-circuit automatic isolation; single-channel fault will be cut off separately without interfering with other auxiliary indication loops and rack core control equipment. The module supports single-card hot swapping under energized rack to reduce field auxiliary circuit wiring maintenance downtime. All finished boards pass 72-hour full-load high-low temperature cyclic aging test and fully meet NRC Nuclear Class 1E safety certification standards, providing stable isolated low-power drive access for safety auxiliary indication and interlock loops of nuclear-grade control racks.
