Beier AKL-8-K Terminal block (Constant current)

Beier AKL-8-K Terminal block (Constant current)

Description
The AKL-8-K terminal clamp enables convenient connection of LEDs to the switching outputs of the following modules:
Sound module USM-RC-3
Mini sound module MSM-1
Sound speed controller SFR-1
Double sound speed controller SFR-1-D
Sound speed controller for Torro / Taigen and Heng Long SFR-1-HL
Speed controller UFR-1230
Double speed controller UFR-1230-D
Light modules LM-IR-8-1, LM-IR-16-4 and LM-BT-16-4
The AKL-8-K is plugged directly onto the module using the ribbon cable.

The AKL-8-K terminal clamp provides 8 current-limited outputs for direct connection of LEDs.
Each of the 8 outputs delivers a constant current of approximately 20 mA (typical current for standard LEDs), over a wide range of supply voltage, allowing direct connection of LEDs. No series resistors are required for the LEDs.

It is also possible to connect multiple LEDs in series. The current remains constant at approximately 20 mA. However, it should be noted that the battery voltage must be minimum 2 V higher than the series connection requires. For example, if 3 LEDs with a forward voltage of 3 V each are connected in series to one output, the battery voltage must be at least 11 V (3 x 3 V + 2 V).

The negative-switching outputs 1-8 and 9-16 are available directly on a spring-loaded terminal at the connection terminal.
The common positive pole is connected to terminals 9 and 10.
Internally, the positive pole is connected to the positive line of the supply voltage (battery +).

The outputs can also be dimmed using the "Intensity" setting in the Sound/Drive or LM Teacher.
