FT232RL USB TO TTL 5V 3.3V Download Module for Arduino

This is a small handy module for rapid prototyping projects requiring RS232/PC interface to robotics and microcontroller based projects using 3.3V or 5V TTL logic.  This module converts signals between RS232 voltage levels and TTL voltage levels. 

Features:

• The FT232R is a USB to serial UART interface
• A low-cost way to add USB capability to microcontrollers. Use this to give your own breadboard For USB capability for bootloading or downloading Arduino sketches.
• RXD/TXD transceiver communication indicator
• Includes over-current protection, using a 500ma self-restoring fuse
• This board includes a DTR pin needed to auto-reset when downloading to your device.
• Color: Red
• USB Power Supply: 3.3V or 5V
• PCB size: 36mm(length)*18mm(width)*10mm(height)
• Module Size:43mm*18mm (USB connector to pins)*10mm
• Pin Pitch:2.54mm

Cautions & Warnings:

Development boards do not necessarily have the same ESD protection as those afforded in an enclosed commercial product and are not necessarily EMC compliant either. Please ensure you are familiar with ESD handling precautions when working with development boards. 

Please be aware of the type and quality of board you are purchasing. These boards are not recommended for use in a commercial or industrial setting but are great for use in a developmental or electronics maker/hacking environment. Please note that due to the complexity of issues related to development work, these boards are not provided with any warranty or technical support and no warranty is provided as to the fit-for-purpose for customer applications. However, we will always try and help with customer support enquiries and welcome feedback.
