SCXI-1320 and SCXI-1328 Terminal Blocks
The second type of connector available to connect the signals to the SCXI-1120 inputs is a
terminal block with an onboard temperature sensor and screw terminals for easy connection.
One terminal block, the SCXI-1328 isothermal terminal block, has a high-accuracy onboard
temperature sensor. The terminal block kits are listed in the Optional Equipment section in
Chapter 1, Introduction.
The SCXI-1320 terminal block and SCXI-1328 high-accuracy isothermal terminal block consist
of a shielded board with supports for connection to the SCXI-1120 input connector. The
terminal blocks have 18 screw terminals for easy connection. Eight pairs of screw terminals are
for signal connection to the eight inputs of the SCXI-1120, and one pair of screw terminals
connects to the chassis ground.
