The mating connector for the PC-DIO-24/PnP is a 50-position, 
polarized, ribbon socket connector with strain relief. National 
Instruments uses a polarized (keyed) connector to prevent inadvertent 
upside-down connection to the PC-DIO-24/PnP. Recommended 
manufacturer part numbers for this mating connector are as follows:

Electronic Products Division/3M (part number 3425-7650)

T&B/Ansley Corporation (part number 622-5041)

The standard ribbon cables (50-conductor, 28 AWG, stranded) that can 
be used with these connectors are as follows:

Electronic Products Division/3M (part number 3365/50)

T&B/Ansley Corporation (part number 171-50)

Recommended manufacturer part numbers for the 50-pin edge 
connector for connecting to a module rack with an edge connector are 
as follows:

A polarizing key can be plugged into these edge connectors to prevent 
inadvertent upside-down connection to the I/O module rack. The 
location of this key varies from rack to rack. Consult the specification 
for the rack you intend to use for the location of any polarizing key. The 
recommended manufacturer part numbers for this polarizing key are as 
follows:
