## Description

A dual-channel RS485 expansion HAT for Raspberry Pi that provides electrically isolated RS485 communication with built-in protection against lightning, surges, and transient voltage spikes. Each channel uses an isolated transceiver for reliable, interference-resistant data transmission — ideal for industrial IoT, environmental monitoring, and building automation systems. The HAT uses the CH432T serial chip and TP75176E RS485 transceivers, with 120Ω terminal resistors and 5.08-3P pluggable terminal blocks for easy wiring. TX and RX indicator LEDs show communication activity in real time. Includes mounting hardware for secure attachment to your Raspberry Pi. Key Features Dual RS485 Channels – Two independent, isolated RS485 communication interfaces Electrical & Signal Isolation – Isolated transceivers for reliable, noise-resistant data transfer Lightning & Surge Protection – Built-in protection circuits including TVS diode TX/RX Indicator LEDs – Blue (TX) and green (RX) for real-time communication status 120Ω Terminal Resistors – Included on each channel for proper bus termination Pluggable Terminal Blocks – 5.08-3P connectors for tool-free wiring Modbus Ready – Supports Modbus master/slave protocol over RS485 Ideal For Agricultural and warehouse IoT systems Indoor and outdoor environmental monitoring Lighting control and building automation Security and access control systems Industrial sensor networks using Modbus protocol Specifications Operating Voltage – 3.3V RS485 Transceiver – TP75176E Serial Chip – CH432T RS485 Channels – 2 Terminal Resistance – 2× 120Ω Wiring – 5.08-3P pluggable terminal blocks LEDs – Power (red), TX (blue), RX (green) Compatibility – Raspberry Pi 3B+, 4B Mounting Holes – 2.5mm diameter Dimensions – 56 × 65mm Package Contents 1× Dual-Channel RS485 Expansion HAT 4× Copper Standoffs & Screws Resources Product Wiki Schematic (PDF) TP75176E Datasheet (PDF) Design Document CAD File 3D Model File
