INSTALLATION GUIDE
NI PXI-2585/2586
Connector and Backshell Kit
This document describes how to create and install a cable that connects
high current signals to the NI PXI-2585 or NI PXI-2586 switch module.
Introduction
The connector and backshell kit for the PXI-2585/2586 switch module
contains all of the components necessary to build a cable assembly that is
safe for use with the entire operating range of the PXI-2585/2586 series of
products. Read through this installation guide carefully to ensure that the
cable you build is safe to use with your switch module.
Caution
When hazardous voltages (>42.4 V
pk
/60 VDC) are present on any solder cup pin,
safety low-voltage (
≤
42.4 V
pk
/60 VDC) cannot be connected to any other solder cup pin.
The PXI-2585/2586 connector and backshell kit contains the following:
•
Empty metal backshell
•
Solder cup pins (Qty. 22)
•
0.050 in. Allen wrench
•
Polyimide tape
You must supply the following items to complete the construction of the
cable:
•
Soldering iron
•
16 AWG stranded wire
Caution
If your cable assemblywill be used in high-voltage applications (>42.4V
pk
/60VDC),
you
must
use UL style 2464 approved cable.
•
