The Model 62-1 RS-232 to EIA-530 Converter is a stand-alone device that allows conversion for the entire interface, providing ten Category-I circuits and three Category-II circuits. The Model 62-1 includes an RS-232 port for interfacing to a DTE. The device may be powered by the 62-4PS-SW (Switching Power Supply). This is fully connectorized using a Mini-DIN connector. The EIA-530 port on the Model 62-1 complies with the signal characteristics of MIL-STD-188-114A, Type II. The EIA-530 specification entitled "High Speed 25 Position Interface For Data Terminal Equipment and Data Circuit Terminating Equipment" was approved March 18, 1987. The Electronic Industries Association (EIA) is changing specification nomenclature from RS-XXX to EIA-XXX. EIA-530 has been developed to serve as a complement to EIA-232-D for data rates above 20,000 bps. Together with the EIA-422-A and EIA-423-A, it provides a convenient means of implementing the higher data rates using the same mechanical connector as specified in EIA-232-D. EIA-530 is intended to gradually replace EIA-449 for the higher data rates.
