Two-channel analog RGB capture for an HMI backplane
The Mitsubishi Electric GT16M-R2 is an RGB Input Unit that brings an external analog RGB video source — projector, PC, or analog monitor feed — onto a GT16-series HMI display, with two channels handled through a single D-sub 15 pin female connector. Internal draw is 0.75 A from the GT16 backplane, so power headroom on the host HMI is the only electrical constraint — there is no field wiring beyond the VGA cable itself.
Mature line and how it is sourced
Lifecycle for the GT16M-R2 reads as mature rather than active-introduction: the part is still orderable, but new design-in activity has slowed, and panel builders typically treat it as a long-lead spare rather than a greenfield component. Lead time is quoted at 1 to 10 working days against the BOM, which is consistent with a part pulled from finished-goods or controlled-channel inventory rather than a fresh production run — order placement is the sourcing trigger, not shelf stock.
