INTRINSIC SAFE IN-LINE ADAPTOR WITH INTEGRATED CAPACITIVE BARRIER FOR CONNECTING A WIRELESS MODULE WITH ANTENNA

摘要

An intrinsic safe in-line adaptor with an integrated capacitive barrier for connecting a wireless module with an antenna. The in-line adaptor (e.g., N-type to N- type) can be designed to include an intrinsic safe circuit and the integrated capacitive barrier. The intrinsic safe circuit further includes a multi-layer PCB and the PCB can be potted and sealed with a mechanical metal casing. The intrinsic safe capacitive barrier can be integrated with a coaxial connector and mounted as part of a flameproof enclosure to meet an explosion safety standard and an intrinsic safety requirement. The mechanical metal casing can be isolated by the enclosure (e.g., rubber) to meet isolation requirements. The wireless module can be directly connected with the antenna utilizing the in-line adaptor via the coaxial connector and without any specific cable assembly.
