Description
The Part Number 180930-01 identifies a specific product within the category of SCXI & Legacy devices. This particular item, known also by its Alternative Part Numbers 776336-01 and 776336-11, falls under the model SC-2061. It is described as a Digital Output Electromechanical Relay and is manufactured by National Instruments.
This product is part of the SC-206x modules family, which is known for its robust design and compatibility with a range of applications. It features 8 individual optically isolated digital output channels, making it versatile for various digital interfacing needs. These channels are designed for high isolation, with 250 Vrms isolation between channels and 400 Vrms isolation between channels and ground, ensuring safe and reliable operation.
Compatibility extends to its ability to be linked with any 8-bit digital port of many NI DAQ devices using SC-205x Series cable adapter devices. This makes the SC-2061 model highly adaptable to existing setups and allows for easy integration into a wide array of systems. The external voltage requirement for operation is a +5 VDC signal with respect to the user’s reference, and each output channel requires a 4.7 kΩ pull-up resistor, ensuring accurate and stable performance.
The design includes adjustable metal standoffs for mounting, providing flexibility for either workbench or rack-mount chassis compatibility. Despite its Obsolete Status as announced by National Instruments, this product remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, ensuring long-term support and availability for users who rely on this critical piece of equipment in their operations.
