Note: Designed to be compatible with 0.125” to 0.20” with screw installation hole towards the corner on the PCB board.
Safety Precautions
CAUTION Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if mishandled, could result in moderate or minor personal injury, and/or property damage.
When using the ASCM-A2D audio analog to digital module, prioritize safety for the board, connected devices, and user well-being. Verify power supply voltage and current meet specifications to prevent damage or hazards. Disconnect power before handling cables to avoid electric shock. When connecting external audio sources, ensure they’re powered off to prevent surges or interference. Verify compatibility with board’s input specs to avoid overload or distortion. Handle the board carefully to avoid damage from moisture or dust. Follow assembly instructions closely, checking connections to prevent issues, ensuring safe operation, and maximizing performance and lifespan.
