The Keithley BP40-37 is an 18-inch connector cable that bridges 40-pin and 37-pin device interfaces. It enables signal mapping between these dissimilar connector types, supporting reliable interconnection in test and measurement systems where pin-count adaptation is required. The cable accommodates both male and female 37-pin configurations, making it suitable for legacy instrument integration and multi-device setups requiring mixed connector standards.
## Technical Specifications
• Connector type: 40-pin to 37-pin
• Cable length: 18 inches
• Pin mapping: Maps signals from 40-pin connector to 37-pin male or female connector
• Signal routing: Detailed pin-to-pin correspondence defined in technical documentation
## Key Features
• Direct pin mapping eliminates the need for custom wiring or external adapters
• Fixed 18-inch length supports moderate distances in instrument racks and benchtop configurations
• Supports both male and female 37-pin terminations for flexible system integration
## Typical Applications
• Data acquisition system interconnects
• Multifunction board connections requiring pin-count conversion
• Legacy instrument integration where 37-pin and 40-pin standards coexist
• Test setups requiring adapter cables between incompatible connector types
## Compatibility & Integration
The BP40-37 is designed for systems utilizing 37-pin D-connectors, including Keithley DAS-1601 and DAS-1602 multifunction boards. It enables connection between 40-pin source devices and 37-pin target equipment, facilitating signal transmission across platforms with disparate pin configurations. Pin mapping details specific to your application are available in complete technical documentation.
