SCC-68

I/O Connector Block with 4 SCC Signal Conditioning Slots for DAQ Devices

The SCC-68 is an I/O connector block for easy signal connection to a 
National Instruments M Series or E Series DAQ device. The SCC-68 
features screw terminals and a general breadboard area for I/O signal 
connection, and bus terminals for external power and grounding. The 
SCC-68 has four SCC slots for use in integrating thermocouple, strain 
gauge, RTD input, frequency input, current input, voltage attenuator, 
lowpass filter, load cell input, accelerometer, feedthrough, SPDT relay, 
isolated digital I/O, and isolated voltage input SCC modules into the 
measurement system.
