Description
The SCB-68 is a Noise Rejecting, Shielded I/O Connector Block designed and manufactured by National Instruments. This connector block is uniquely identified by part numbers 776844-01 and 782914-01. It is compatible with a wide range of DAQ devices including the X Series, M Series, E Series, B Series, S Series, and R Series.
Among its notable features are an onboard cold-junction compensation sensor, a general breadboard section for prototyping, screw terminals for secure connections, and component pads designed for signal conditioning. These features make the SCB-68 highly versatile and adaptable to a variety of experimental and testing setups.
The temperature sensor embedded within the SCB-68 boasts an accuracy of ±1.0 °C over a 0 to 110 °C range, with an output of 10 mV/°C, ensuring precise temperature measurements and monitoring. Power requirements for the SCB-68 are modest, with a typical consumption of 1 mA at +5 VDC and a maximum of 800 mA from the host computer, allowing it to be easily integrated into existing setups without significant power demands.
Physically, the SCB-68 measures 7.7 x 6.0 x 1.8 inches and weighs 13 oz, making it compact and lightweight for its capabilities. Its operating temperature range is from 0 to 70 °C, and it can be stored within a temperature range of –20 to 70 °C. This device is also designed to operate in a wide range of humidity levels, from 5 to 90% RH, non-condensing, ensuring reliability and performance stability in various environmental conditions.
