Description
The National Instruments SCB-68A Shielded I/O Connector Block, with part number 782536-01, is designed to be compatible with both 68 pin and 100 pin DAQ devices. Users can configure the device using the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) configuration tool. Notable among its special features are a resettable fuse and a magnetic removable lid, providing both safety and convenience.
Mounting options are versatile, including DIN-Rail, panel, or desktop configurations, ensuring that the SCB-68A can be easily integrated into various setups. For customization, it includes a breadboard section and through hole pads measuring between 0.8 to 0.9 mm in diameter, facilitating the addition of custom circuitry and components.
The device boasts a temperature sensor accuracy of ±1.0 °C within an operating temperature range of 0 to 70 °C and a storage temperature range of –20 to 70 °C. The SCB-68A’s fuse has a rating of 1.10 A, 8 VDC SMT PTC and is not user replaceable, ensuring reliable protection.
It features 68 screw terminals suited for wire gauges ranging from 14 to 30 AWG, while the power consumption is a modest 1 mA typically—without signal conditioning—and can go up to 800 mA maximum as drawn from the host computer. Despite its robust capabilities, the unit remains relatively lightweight at just 1 lb, making it a practical choice for a wide range of data acquisition applications.
