2-mm system
2-mm plug-in system for UniTrain
The EloTrain 2-mm plug-in system combines with the multimedia experiment and training system UniTrain to create a modern and powerful learning environment for well grounded training in the fundamentals of electrical engineering and electronics. Students are guided through experiments by clearly structured course software aided by text, graphics, animations and tests of knowledge. The experiments themselves are carried out on a 2-mm Experimenter unit specially developed for UniTrain. A wide variety of virtual instruments is available so that students can make real-time measurements. The plug-in modules contain both passive and active electronic components connected via 2-mm laminated plugs featuring gold-plated contacts. When inserted into the plug-in board, the laminated plugs clip the components into place mechanically as well as providing an electrical connection to the plug-in board’s nodes. Cables or jumpers can be used to make connections to other nodes, components or measuring instruments. As a rule the 2-mm components are available in two sizes, one for two-pole components and the other for four poles. If a component requires more terminals, these are generally provided in the form of sockets on top of the component. The housings are comprised of two plastic parts clipped together. The upper part features a scratch-proof, high-contrast print of the component’s circuit diagram or symbol along with a type name for the component. The transparent body is made of extremely tough see-through plastic allowing the inside of the component to be seen. The base plate is also made of containing 2-mm laminated plugs and joined to the body via an easy-to-open ratchet clip for repair purposes.
4-mm system
The EloTrain plug-in is a comprehensive set of components for performing experiments in the fields of electrical engineering, electronics and digital technology. The 4-mm plug-in components can be assembled in any way on an EloTrain plug-in board so that electronic circuits of any size can be set up, operated and tested.
The plug-in modules include both passive and active electronic components with contacts formed by 4-mm laminated plugs. When inserted into the plug-in board, the plugs hold the components firmly in place, while simultaneously making electrical connections between the board’s nodes. Leads and jumpers can then be used to form links to other nodes on the board as well as other components or measuring instruments.
The 4mm plug-in components are available in three sizes with two, four or six terminals.
For components requiring more terminals than this, additional sockets are provided on top of the module.
The housings are comprised of three plastic parts clipped together. The white top part features a scratch-proof, high-contrast print of the component’s circuit diagram or symbol along with a type name for the component. The transparent body is made of extremely tough see-through plastic allowing the inside of the component to be seen. The base plate is also made containing 4-mm laminated plugs and joined to the body via an easy-to-open ratchet clip for repair purposes.
High-power elements are contained in open, light-metal housings for improved heat dissipation.
The components designed for digital technology experiments are provided with power via 4 laminated plugs. Digital inputs and outputs are made available on the top of the modules and can be linked together by means of leads tipped with 2-mm plugs.
Fundamentals of electrical engineering and electronics
A comprehensive education in the fundamentals of electrical engineering is essential to the understanding of more complex relationships in the various applied sectors in both electrical engineering and electronics.
The freedom to experiment is backed up by formal experiment literature and the use of safety extra-low voltage means that the system is even safe for complete laymen. It leads to in-depth knowledge and eventually to the kind of practical skills that form an essential basis for further education and training.
