NI SCB-100

Shielded 100-Pin Connector Block for Plug-In DAQ Devices

This guide describes how to connect and use the NI SCB-100 with 100-pin data acquisition
(DAQ) devices.

The SCB-100 is a shielded desktop accessory with 100 screw terminals, a cold-junction
compensation temperature sensor for use with thermocouples, and a strain-relief bar for
securing signal wires or cables.

The SCB-100 connects to E Series MIO devices (NI 6025E, NI 6031E, NI 6033E, and NI
6071E), DIO devices (PCI-DIO-96, NI 6508, NI 6509, NI 6511, NI 6512, NI 6513, NI 6514,
NI 6515, NI 6527, and NI 6528), TIO Series devices (NI 6624), or other products with a 100-
pin 0.050 series shielded D-type I/O connector.

Note

 

To use the SCB-100 with a DIO or TIO Series device, you must change the

default switch setting. Refer to the 

Using the SCB-100 with DIO/TIO Devices

section for more information.

The following illustration shows the SCB-100 components.
