The NI TBX-50B is a 50-pin D-SUB screw terminal block that terminates field wiring to NI data acquisition and control devices. This DIN rail-mountable accessory simplifies signal connections while reducing wiring errors in industrial and laboratory environments. It replaces the NI TBX-50 and is manufactured by Phoenix Contact as part of the National Instruments ecosystem.
