– Key Features
• 50-pin to 68-pin configuration optimizes connections between NI DAQ modules and external accessories.
• Shielded design minimizes crosstalk and electromagnetic interference in digital signal paths.
• 32 AWG conductors with 7/40 stranding balance flexibility and signal integrity.
• Meets international safety standards for measurement, control, and laboratory environments.
– Typical Applications
• Connecting NI arbitrary waveform generators and multifunction DAQ devices to signal conditioning and relay switching modules.
• Digital I/O and trigger signal routing in automated test systems.
• Integration of NI 445X, NI 5411, and NI 5431 devices with external instrumentation.
– Compatibility & Integration
The SHC50-68 interfaces directly with NI DAQ systems using 50-pin digital/trigger connectors and 68-pin analog signal connectors. Compatible accessories include the SCB-68 and TBX-68 connector blocks, enabling modular expansion of test system architecture.
