Specific features of all FACET base units include:
• Distributed +15 and -15 V DC, and variable ±10 V DC power to the various circuit training boards. Coarse and fine controls are provided to adjust the variable DC supplies.
• Self-protection against short circuit, reverse voltage, and overcurrent conditions.
• Long-life ZIF connector, with a rotary knob that locks the training board into the base unit. The ZIF connector itself is protected from damage by built-in stops.
• The fingers on the connectors are gold-plated for added durability.
• Included is an accessory kit containing terminal posts, connectors, adapters, and patch cords required to perform experiments on the FACET training board.
