The General Standards X23057 is a 68-pin breakout board that provides direct access to all pins of a 68-pin connector through individual screw terminals. Designed for prototyping, testing, and equipment interfacing, this board simplifies signal routing and measurement in laboratory and industrial environments. The board accepts wire gauges from 18 to 26 AWG and measures 2.88 inches in width, with length tailored to application requirements.
## Technical Specifications
• **Connector Type:** 68-pin (Half-Pitch DSUB, VHDCI, or SCSI variants)
• **Pin Count:** 68 pins with individual screw terminal access
• **Wire Gauge:** 18–26 AWG
• **Board Width:** 2.88 inches
• **Termination:** Screw terminals for each pin; shielding provisions available
• **Prototyping Support:** Solder pad connection spaces (two per pin) at 0.1″ spacing accommodate pin headers and discrete components
## Key Features
• Full individual pin accessibility eliminates the need for proprietary breakout cables
• Screw terminals enable secure, field-replaceable connections without soldering
• Dedicated shield terminal for grounded return paths
• Solder pads support custom component integration for signal conditioning or protection circuits
• Benchtop construction with rubber feet; DIN rail mounting available on select variants
## Typical Applications
• DAQ system prototyping and integration testing
• SCSI device interfacing and diagnostics
• Equipment signal routing and measurement
• Custom instrumentation development requiring pin-level access
• Laboratory benchtop signal distribution
## Compatibility & Integration
The X23057 integrates with equipment using Half-Pitch DSUB, VHDCI, or SCSI-3 (Micro DB68) connectors. Half-Pitch DSUB variants are compatible with National Instruments DAQ cards and measurement accessories. SCSI applications benefit from the 68-pin Half-Pitch DSUB pinout, enabling direct connection to legacy and current SCSI devices without intermediate adapters.
