Review on πŸ’» High-Quality USB to RS485 Converter Adapter with Screw Terminals and Wide OS Compatibility (Black) by Matthew Maggot

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Those are little screws!

I just want RS-485 drivers and the flexibility and security of screw terminals. I just didn't realize how small this port is compared to other serial ports I've used, the screws are slightly smaller than those on my glasses - so be careful not to use a jeweler's screwdriver or an "iFixit" -Having a set on hand is probably a good idea. As with everyone else, it would be great to have a quick pinout guide in the credit card sized instructions that came with this one, but I've already seen the full instructions on Revain. I ended up buying 2 and one was slightly bent in shipping. It stood up normally, passed the loop test, but I would have liked a slightly sturdier mount, the extra 1-2mm on the board would have held up, and there would have been no flexing. And LEDs, beauties! A quick idiot light check is really helpful.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
