The Keithley BP40-37 is an 8.5-inch connector cable that adapts between 40-pin and 37-pin configurations for signal routing in test and measurement systems. This interface accessory translates signals between devices with differing pin layouts, maintaining signal integrity across multifunction data acquisition platforms. The BP40-37 serves as a critical bridge component in Keithley test architectures, enabling compatibility between instruments with incompatible connector formats.
Technical Specifications
• Connector Type: 40-pin to 37-pin adapter cable
• Cable Length: 8.5 inches
– Key Features
• Pin-to-pin signal mapping between 40-pin and 37-pin configurations
• Maintains signal continuity across interface translation
• Facilitates integration of devices with dissimilar pin layouts
– Typical Applications
The BP40-37 addresses signal routing challenges in multi-instrument test setups where pin configuration mismatches would otherwise prevent direct connection. It enables flexible system architecture by allowing older or alternative instruments to connect within standardized Keithley measurement frameworks.
– Compatibility & Integration
The BP40-37 integrates with Keithley data acquisition and switching systems. Primary compatibility includes the DAS-1600 series multifunction boards, specifically the DAS-1601 and DAS-1602 models. A related variant, the BP40-37F (featuring a 37-pin female connector), is available within this adapter family, providing options for different downstream interface requirements.
