Duet 3 Tool Distribution Board

In stock, ready to ship. Documentation can be found here. This board allows for the connection of up to 4 Duet 3 Toolboards to the Duet 3 Mainboard at one time, greatly simplifying the CAN-FD bus and power wiring.  Features: The documentation contains more details, a summary of the feature set is here: 2-way barrier strip for power in. Four 2-way JST VH connectors for power out to tool boards, individually fused. Two RJ11 connectors for CAN bus in/out to connect to Duet 3 main board and expansion boards. Four 4-pin JST ZH connectors to connect CAN bus to four Tool Boards. Four pairs of 2-pin jumpers to bypass unused tool board CAN connectors. CAN bus termination jumper, for use if the CAN_OUT RJ11 port is not used. The Tool Distribution Board is supplied with a connector pack containing the following: 4 of 4-way JST ZH tails 150mm with fitted plug (CAN to tool boards) 4 of 2-way JST VH housing & crimps (Power to tool boards) 2 Fork connectors (Power in) 9 loose 2-pin jumpers, for fitting to the CAN bypass 2-pin headers and CAN bus termination 2-pin header as required. 4x M3 nylon washers for mounting holes A loose 500mm RJ11 cable is also supplied for connecting the CAN_IN port to the Main Board, Expansion Board, or other tool distribution board. As of May 12th, 2021, all Duet3D products purchased from Filastruder will be eligible for a 12-month limited warranty. For more information, visit http://www.duet3d.com/warranty.
