## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=DFR0914:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/DFR0914:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

**Introduction**Are you still distressed that industrial sensors can't be used on the [Arduino](https://www.dfrobot.com/topic-277.html)? You may need to get a converter just like this!

This 12V to 5V level converter module with 4-channel Optocoupler isolation features **common anode / common cathode / differential signal inputs.** The level shifter translates signal level from 12V to 5V and offers PNP output (NPN to PNP available). It can be used for signal isolation, PLC signal level conversion, NPN to PNP signal conversion, polarity conversion, signal level voltage conversion and so on.
