Transformer modules streamline Ethernet connectivity in industrial designs

The HB and HXB series of highly integrated Ethernet isolation modules from Pulse Electronics, a YAGEO company, are compatible with all major PHYs and offer surface-mount and through-hole package options.

YAGEO supplies the Pulse HB and HXB transformer modules, which provide an optimized, compact solution for Ethernet connectivity across a wide range of applications. The HB and HXB offer isolation solutions for 1 Gbit/s and multi-rate 2.5 Gbit/s, 5 Gbit/s, and 10 Gbit/s Ethernet connectivity in single-, dual-, or quad-port options. 

The HB and HXB provide many package options to suit space-constrained installations such as handheld consumer devices or IoT sensor nodes. These include low-profile options with a height as low as 2 mm for devices offering 1 Gbit/s data rates. The footprint of this 16-pin module is 12.7 mm x 9.6 mm. 

The Pulse HB and HXB isolation modules also include options that support Power over Ethernet (PoE) with a rating of 30 W, 60 W or 90 W. The HB and HXB provide excellent electrical circuit isolation which meets various IEEE 802.3 standards across the whole product range. The minimum breakdown voltage of these transformer modules is 1,500 Vrms, with higher breakdown voltages available within the product family.
