I/O

ONNECTOR

The J3 I/O connector incorporates analog voltage outputs 0 through 15 and digital I/O channels
A0 through C7. The pinout of the connector is shown in Table 4.

Note

This connector is compatible with Diamond Systems’ cable C-50-18. Any standard
0.1” 50-pin cable-mount IDC connector will mate with this connector.
