RS-232 link for 5V-only industrial serial ports
The Analog Devices MAX202ESE+T is a full-duplex RS-232 transceiver packing two drivers and two receivers into a 16-SOIC package. It handles serial communication up to 120 kbps.
Industrial temperature and package fit
Rated for -40°C to 85°C, this transceiver is at home in factory-floor automation, outdoor telecom cabinets, and engine-bay-adjacent electronics where the ambient swings. The 16-SOIC (0.154" body width, 3.90 mm) footprint is a standard surface-mount package that reflows without special handling and fits most two-layer boards.
Lifecycle and compliance
Listed as Active in production with ROHS3 compliance. The ROHS3 declaration covers the full bill of materials — no red phosphorus or restricted phthalates in the mold compound.
