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.

Specifications for the module with which the cable will be used
