The CFA-RS232 Level Translator is a small printed circuit assembly that can be mounted on a compatible Crystalfontz Intelligent LCD Module. Less than one inch high and a little over one inch wide, the CFA-RS232 is an easy way to change to "full swing" RS232 serial interface on compatible modules that have "logic level", inverted serial interface.
For detailed CFA-RS232 specifications and connection information, see the datasheet under the Datasheets & Files tab on this website page. Compatible Crystalfontz LCD Modules:CFA635 (all models). CFA735 (all models), CFA835 (all models), CFA039A0NVD Series
The H1 and H2 headers on the CFARS232 board have been changed by the manufacturer. They still properly connect with old version of the mating headers.
Reason:
Hirose has changed the family of headers that are used at H1 and H2 to address a packing change they made.
