Single Channel Relay Barrier
2-channel Relay Barrier

FlashRunner High-Speed Relay Barriers

The relay barrier is an additional board that can be plugged into the Active Module and it allows the customer to galvanically isolate the target board from the FlashRunner when the programming is completed.

There are two models of relay barrier:

  • Single-channel with 30-pin connector, for eMMC, NAND, Octo-SPI;
  • Double-channel with 20-pin connectors, for General Purpose or CAN Active Modules.

With these two options, it is possible to have a relay barrier integration for all active modules currently available.

FlashRunner High-Speed Junction Boxes

To easily and quickly change accessories in the programming station without unscrewing 4/8 of the USB cables, special junction boxes are available for switching from USB cables or connectors that can be easily disconnected. This allows the ICT tester/ISP programmer cassettes to be replaced in one move. The junction boxes thus simplify the mechanical design of the testers/programmers. And so:

  • FR-HS-JB1 – is an adapter connected directly to the USB connectors of the central unit
  • FR-HS-JB2 – is an adapter connected to the central unit via USB cables
  • FR-HS-JB3 – is an adapter connected to the active module via USB cables

Junction boxes are used as an intermediate interface between the central unit and active modules. Boxes are used in pairs. Always one of the JB1 or JB2 adapters cooperates with one JB3 adapter. They are easily detachable, so they allow easy disconnection/connection of the tester/programmer cassette containing the active modules from/to the cassette containing the control unit. Thus, they enable easy replacement of the tester/programmer cassette containing active modules with another one - according to the change of the programmed PCB.
