Description
The NI TB-2631B Terminal Block, with the part number 781688-01, is a versatile accessory specifically designed for the PXI-2530B Switch Module. This terminal block functions as a multiplexer and supports various configurations, including a 4 x 32 (one-wire) matrix and a 4 x 16 (two-wire) matrix, to accommodate different testing scenarios.
While it is an essential component for the PXI-2530B, it is not compatible with the standard PXI-2530 Switch Module, which is an important consideration for potential users. The terminal block features a robust 160-position connector that can handle a maximum voltage of 60 VDC and a maximum current of 0.4 amperes, ensuring reliable connections and signal integrity.
For applications requiring trigger signals, the NI TB-2631B provides dedicated screw terminals that support TRIGIN and TRIGOUT signals up to +5V. Additional features such as a strain-relief bar and 2 chassis screws are included to ensure secure attachment and prevent accidental disconnections.
Despite its announced obsolete status by National Instruments, the NI TB-2631B remains available for purchase and service through Apex Waves, demonstrating its continued value and utility in various applications.
