APEFC-D50

Overview

The APEFC-D50 is a CANbus USB 2.0 interface module manufactured by Apacer Memory America. It facilitates communication between CANbus devices and computers through a standard USB connection. The module operates within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, ensuring reliability in demanding environments. It draws a maximum current of 500 mA during operation. The component is classified under Interface Modules and utilizes the EFC-D series designation. It supports CANbus protocols over the USB 2.0 interface for data transmission.

Feature Summary

• Enables direct communication between CANbus devices and host computers via USB 2.0
• Operates reliably within an extended industrial temperature range of -40°C to 85°C
• Designed as a compact interface module for embedded or desktop integration

Applications

• Industrial automation systems requiring CANbus connectivity
• Automotive diagnostic and testing equipment
• Embedded computer interfaces for vehicle networks

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application requires a CANbus USB 2.0 interface module rather than a different protocol converter. Confirm compatibility with the host operating system and driver support before procurement. Ensure the power supply can provide the required 500 mA current draw. Check if the industrial temperature rating meets the environmental conditions of the deployment site. Validate mechanical fit for the intended enclosure or mounting setup.

Selection Notes

Select this module when a dedicated hardware solution for CANbus over USB is required. Consider the 500 mA power consumption against available USB port capabilities. Evaluate the need for the specified -40°C to 85°C operating range compared to commercial grade alternatives. Ensure the USB 2.0 bandwidth suffices for the expected data throughput of the CANbus network.
