2-Channel Level Converter (12V to 3.3V) visual preview2-Channel Level Converter (12V to 3.3V)
2-channel optocoupler-isolated converter for 12 V field signals into 3.3 V logic. Treat as industrial signal conditioning, not a drop-in replacement for I2C/TXB/TXS logic shifters.
$6.90
2-Channel Level Converter (12V to 5V) visual preview2-Channel Level Converter (12V to 5V)
2-channel optocoupler-isolated converter for 12 V field signals into 5 V logic. Useful when the problem is PLC/sensor-level 12 V signaling, not board-to-board 3.3 V/5 V buses.
