Mounting directly onto compatible analog I\/O modules (such as AAI143, AAI135, AAI835, and AAP135 series), the unit converts internal module connectors into standardized KS multi-core cable interfaces for direct connection to AEA4D or AET4D terminal boards. This physical coupling eliminates point-to-point manual cabinet wiring while preserving channel assignment for 8-point and 16-point analog configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSuffix Breakdown \u0026amp; Model Matrix\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"table\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuffix Code\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFunctional Description\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eATK4A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase Model\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKS Cable Interface Adapter for Analog I\/O Modules\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-00\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard Option\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard configuration for KS1\/KS2 cable termination\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHardware Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"table\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eATK4A-00\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYokogawa\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJapan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.20 kg net (1.20 kg shipping package)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 mm W x 100 mm H x 130 mm D\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Temp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 to +55 deg C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePassive pass-through adapter (no internal power draw)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnecting Points\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8-point or 16-point analog interface channels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCable Compatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKS1 and KS2 multi-core interface cables\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModule Compatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAAI143, AAI135, AAI835, AAP135 series\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTerminal Board Compatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAEA4D, AET4D, and KS series terminal units\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIngress Protection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP54 enclosure protection rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e4-20 mA HART Loop Protocol \u0026amp; Channel-to-Channel Isolation Integration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ATK4A-00 adapter transfers 4-20 mA HART loop protocol carrier frequencies and high-frequency pulse inputs from field transmitters through dedicated multi-pin KS connectors without signal degradation. Internal pin traces maintain low loop resistance and high dielectric separation between adjacent channel lines, relying on the host I\/O module and terminal boards for channel-to-channel isolation and galvanic protection. The unit incorporates grounding shield planes that route cable screen drains directly to functional chassis ground, suppressing external EMI and common-mode voltage noise across sensitive process loops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: Does the ATK4A-00 cable interface adapter require independent DC auxiliary power connections?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: No. The adapter operates strictly as a passive electrical interface and pass-through termination assembly, drawing no current from the backplane or external field supplies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: Can the ATK4A-00 adapter be attached or detached while the host analog I\/O module remains powered?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Hot-plugging the adapter is not recommended during active process operations. Field loops should be de-energized or switched to manual control prior to mating or unseating multi-core KS cable assemblies to prevent transient open-circuit trips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: What prevents wiring inversion or incorrect pin alignment during KS cable insertion?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The integrated KS cable connector housing features keyed physical guide slots that enforce correct alignment and prevent inverted cable mating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eField Installation Guidelines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDirect Module Mounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Align the ATK4A-00 rear pins precisely with the front terminal connector of the host analog module, pushing evenly until the locking latches snap into place.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKS Cable Engagement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Insert the KS1\/KS2 multi-core cable plug straight into the adapter socket, tightening the side retaining screws to secure the connector against vibration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShield Continuity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ensure the KS cable overall shield braid bonds securely to the grounding lug on the terminal board or cabinet earth bus bar to preserve noise immunity across analog channels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Strain Relief:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anchor all heavy multi-core KS field cables to cabinet wiring tie bars within 100 mm of the module faceplate to relieve mechanical tension on the ATK4A-00 connector body.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Yokogawa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43796448936026,"sku":"ATK4A","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/5957\/0778\/files\/759..jpg?v=1786071144","url":"https:\/\/www.spareoil.com\/es\/products\/yokogawa-atk4a-00-centum-vp-ks-cable-adapter","provider":"SpareOil Automation","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
