Description
The CLT3-4B is a quadruple logic input
termination for sensor or mechanical switch
interfaces. It is designed to work in 24 VDC
applications such as PLCs (programmable logic
controllers), PACs (programmable automation
controllers) and distributed I/O systems used in
factory automation.

Data Brief
STEVAL-IFP008V1
The most important aspect of the CLT3-4B is the
electrical protection and susceptibility its brings to
the application. The CLT3-4B implements efficient
protection diodes on each input and supply voltage line. Serial resistors ensure a higher level of
susceptibility of the entire input module.
The device optimize s the input VI char acteristic to
reduce its power dissipation. This becomes
critical when the application cabinet or housing
requires higher protection le vels such as IP65 and
IP67. These closed cabinets are used in various
automated lines including the fo od and chemical
industry.
The power dissipated inside the module is very
limited as there is usually no air circulation inside
the box. The current limitation also reduces the
power losses in the sensor.
Thanks to its compact TSSOP20 package, the
CLT3-4B device occupies very little space on the
PCB compared to an equivalent discrete solution.
