Description
The SCB-68 is a Shielded I/O Connector Block manufactured by National Instruments. It is designed to be compatible with various DAQ devices including the X Series, M Series, E Series, B Series, S Series, and R Series. This versatility makes it an essential component for a wide range of data acquisition tasks.
The SCB-68 comes with part numbers 776844-01, 782914-01, 182469D-01, ensuring you can identify and match the exact model you need for your setup. It boasts several key features that enhance its utility and performance. Among these are an onboard cold-junction compensation sensor for precise temperature measurements, screw terminals for secure wire connections, and general-purpose breadboard areas that allow for custom circuit configurations. Additionally, it includes sockets for electrical components and is compatible with signal conditioning modules, further expanding its application range.
The SCB-68’s temperature sensor output is remarkably accurate, offering ±1.0 °C over a 0 to 110 °C range, with an output of 10 mV/°C, making it suitable for a variety of temperature monitoring tasks. Power requirements are minimal, typically 1 mA at +5 VDC, with the ability to draw up to 800 mA from the host computer, depending on the use case and signal conditioning needs.
Its connectivity is facilitated by a 68-pin male SCSI I/O connector, ensuring reliable data transmission. It is designed to accommodate wires ranging from 14-30 AWG, offering flexibility in the choice of wiring for installation. Despite its robust capabilities, the SCB-68 is relatively lightweight at 13 oz and compact, with dimensions of 7.7 x 6.0 x 1.8 inches, making it easy to integrate into your setup without requiring excessive space.
Operational across a temperature range of 0 to 70 °C, the SCB-68 is well-suited for use in a variety of environments, ensuring reliable performance under varying conditions
