The multimedia experiment and training system
The EloTrain 2-mm plug-in system combines with the multimedia experiment and training system UniTrain to create a modern and powerful learning environment for well grounded training in the fundamentals of electrical engineering and electronics. Students are guided through experiments by clearly structured course software aided by text, graphics, animations and tests of knowledge. The experiments themselves are carried out on a 2-mm Experimenter unit specially developed for UniTrain. A wide variety of virtual instruments is available so that students can make real-time measurements.
The plug-in modules contain both passive and active electronic components connected via 2-mm laminated plugs featuring gold-plated contacts. When inserted into the plug-in board, the laminated plugs clip the components into place mechanically as well as providing an electrical connection to the plug-in board’s nodes. Cables or jumpers can be used to make connections to other nodes, components or measuring instruments.
As a rule the 2-mm components are available in two sizes, one for two-pole components and the other for four poles. If a component requires more terminals, these are generally provided in the form of sockets on top of the component. The housings are comprised of two plastic parts clipped together. The upper part features a scratch-proof, high-contrast print of the component’s circuit diagram or symbol along with a type name for the component. The transparent body is made of extremely tough see-through plastic allowing the inside of the component to be seen. The base plate is also made of containing 2-mm laminated plugs and joined to the body via an easy-to-open ratchet clip for repair purposes.
