External Connectors

Hardware version

CANBench TrueZ v1.1 — Fabricated prototype, sole built unit. V1.1 is electrically identical to the V1.2 schematic refresh but predates the InvenTree symbol-library migration; the schematic component metadata reflects legacy SCADYS naming. Testing and bench validation reference this V1.1 hardware.

Other versions: v1.2 — schematic refresh (next version)

Five external connections: two SMA inputs, two SMA outputs, one ground banana. All RF ports are 50 Ω.

Cabling: drive J2/J3 from the CANBench Duo's two LISN-output SMAs with two identical cables (matched length). Connect one output (J4 or J5) at a time to the analyser's 50 Ω input. The CM-25Ω / DM-100Ω impedance labels are valid only with a 50 Ω analyser input.

Faceplate layouts

The SMA ports are laser-etched on two opposite enclosure faces. The drawings below show each face as etched.

Input face — LISN line inputs (from the CANBench Duo)

CANBench TrueZ input faceplate — LISN+ and LISN− SMA jacks

Output face — CM / DM outputs (to the analyser)

CANBench TrueZ output faceplate — DM-100 Ω and CM-25 Ω SMA jacks
