Product Introduction
1040-0011 Revision 8
pin IDC ribbon-style connector to laser personality cards or cables that present laser-specific
connectorization. Direct connection is also possible with sparsely populated pin-in-shell-style
connectors. The laser signals are organized such that an IPG YLP fiber laser with type E interface can
be directly connected using a ribbon cable.
I/O signals for automation are presented in a 0.1” 20-pin header for easy access. All I/O signals are
also presented in an inter-board transition connector that can be direct-connected to an expansion
I/O board. This arrangement permits alternate connector usage and additional signal conditioning
options.
