PMAC-Pack Mating Connector Pinouts
This section provides the pinouts for each of the mating connectors for PMAC-Pack ports to facilitate
customer manufacture of cables to meet individual requirements. PMAC-Pack is shipped with mating
screw terminal blocks and a power cable. Box header and DB connectors for use in making cables may be
sourced through Delta Tau, the manufacturer, or a local vendor. Delta Tau can provide pre-made cables
for many of these ports if required.
