Voltage Divider Module for boards compatible with Arduino

A voltage divider is a straightforward circuit that converts a high voltage into a lower one. It employs two series resistors and an input voltage to produce an output voltage that is a fraction of the input. Voltage dividers are fundamental in electronics.

Compatible with Arduino, a Voltage Divider Module allows for the reduction of voltage levels from higher to lower through a series resistor network. This module usually has an input terminal for the high voltage source and an output terminal for the reduced voltage. It is designed for easy integration with Arduino microcontrollers, facilitating connection through digital or analog pins. Utilizing the voltage division ratio set by the resistors, the module provides precise voltage scaling for various applications, including sensor interfacing and signal conditioning. Users should be cautious not to surpass the module’s maximum voltage capacity and to account for resistor tolerance to ensure peak performance. The Voltage Divider Module is an essential component for Arduino projects, offering an efficient method for adjusting voltage levels.

Specification/Features:

1. Input Voltage Range: Typically supports input voltages up to a certain maximum value, such as 25V or 30V, to ensure safe operation.
2. Output Voltage Range: Provides a scaled-down output voltage within a specified range, often from 0V to the maximum input voltage.
3. Voltage Division Ratio: Specifies the ratio at which the input voltage is divided to produce the output voltage. Common ratios include 1:2, 1:3, or customizable ratios using adjustable resistors.
4. Accuracy and Tolerance: Defines the accuracy of voltage division and the tolerance of the resistors used in the module. Higher tolerance resistors offer more precise voltage scaling.
5. Resistor Values: Lists the values of the resistors used in the voltage divider network. These values determine the voltage division ratio and influence the module’s accuracy.
6. Maximum Current Handling: Indicates the maximum current that can safely flow through the module without causing damage to the resistors or other components.
7. Interface Compatibility: Compatible with Arduino boards, allowing easy connection via digital or analog pins for voltage monitoring or other applications.
8. Dimensions and Mounting: Provides dimensions of the module and details regarding its mounting options, such as PCB mounting holes or enclosure compatibility.
9. Operating Temperature Range: Specifies the temperature range within which the module can operate reliably without performance degradation or damage.
