16 opto‑isolated inputs (current sink compatible) and 16 opto‑isolated open‑collector outputs (current sink type) in a compact USB unit. 5‑50 VDC operation, 200 µs response. Internal power for inputs — no external supply needed for input section. Outputs support 100 mA per channel with surge and overcurrent protection.
Isolated USB I/O
with Internal Input Power
The DIO‑1616HN‑USB provides 16 opto‑isolated inputs (current sink compatible) and 16 opto‑isolated open‑collector outputs (current sink type) in a compact USB 2.0 unit. Inputs are internally powered (5 VDC) — no external supply needed for input section. Outputs require an external 5‑50 VDC supply and support 100 mA per channel.
- 16 channels, opto-isolated
- Current sink compatible
- 5‑50 VDC external signal
- Internal power for opto-couplers
- 1 common per 16 channels
- 16 channels, open-collector
- Current sink type
- 60 VDC max, 100 mA per channel
- Zener diode surge protection
- Overcurrent protector (8 ch/group)
Internal power for inputs — no external power supply needed for the input section. Outputs require external 5‑50 VDC supply. Common terminals: inputs share 1 common; outputs share 1 common per 8 channels.
Built for Industrial Applications
- Opto‑isolated bus — 500 Vrms isolation between USB and I/O interfaces, excellent noise immunity.
- Internal input power — opto‑couplers powered internally; no external supply needed for inputs.
- Surge protection — zener diode (RD68FM or equivalent) on each output transistor.
- Overcurrent protection — per 8 output channels; temporarily disables outputs when triggered.
- Compact design — 188.0(W) × 78.0(D) × 30.5(H) mm; screw, magnet, DIN rail, or floor/wall mounting.
- USB 2.0/1.1 — High Speed (480 Mbps) and Full Speed (12 Mbps) compatible.

Connector & Cabling
The unit uses two 10‑pin terminal connectors (3.5mm pitch). The supplied plug connectors mate with the board‑mounted jacks. Compatible wire: AWG28‑16. The USB connection uses a standard USB Mini B connector with included 1.8m cable.
- Input connector — 10‑pin plug, signal pins I0‑0 to I0‑7, common pin, and NC.
- Output connector — 10‑pin plug, signal pins O1‑0 to O1‑7, common pins (2 per 8 channels), and NC.
- Wiring — use European type terminal connectors (included). Do not remove by pulling cable.
- Included accessories — USB cable (1.8m), interface connectors (4), rubber feet (4), magnets (2), USB cable attachment.
Certifications & Compliance
- VCCI Class A — Japanese EMC for commercial/industrial environments.
- FCC Class A — U.S. emissions compliance for industrial use.
- CE (EMC Directive Class A + RoHS) — European conformity.
- UKCA — UK conformity assessed.
