Description
The National Instruments FP-TB-3 FieldPoint Isothermal Terminal Base, with a part number of 186424C-01 and an ordering part number of 777519-03, falls under the FieldPoint category. This model, identified as FP-TB-3, is specifically designed to serve as an Isothermal Terminal Base for thermocouples.
It is manufactured by National Instruments and features a total of 18 screw terminals and 16 numbered terminals. Additionally, there are 2 dedicated C channel terminals included to cater to specific needs. The maximum total current that can pass through the V and C terminals is capped at 10 A. For current draw considerations, it is recommended to use one terminal for the return path if the total current draw is below 3 A; however, if it exceeds 3 A, individual C terminals should be utilized.
This terminal base is not only designed for the FP-TC-120 module but is also compatible with certain I/O modules, broadening its applicability. Its isothermal construction is a noteworthy feature, as it effectively decreases thermal gradients on the I/O terminals, enhancing performance and reliability.
