I have a prefabricated temperature control unit that for some unknown reason the genius designers used the same connectors for the sensor inputs and the control outputs. Unfortunately if you connect the 5V sensor to the 24V output, the magic smoke comes out. I'm getting tired of replacing and wanting for replacement sensors. I am looking for a small circuit solution that I can add into the backshell of the sensor connector to prevent overvoltage. The circuit does not need to limit the voltage to 5V, but can actually outright prevent the sensor from working. The sensor does not need to work is connected to the 24V output control port.
Sensor wiring is:
1-5vDC
2-Output
3-Ground
Control output wiring is:
1-24VDC
3-GND
OK, guys. What do you have?
