PulseBlasterDDS-I-300

If you will be making your own power supply to connect to the Molex-style power connector, you will need the following 

parts or their equivalents:  One 6-pin female Mini-Fit Jr.™ connector (DigiKey part No. WM23702-ND) and six Mini-Fit Jr.™
crimp receptacles (DigiKey part No. WM2501-ND).

Warning: 

Do not connect PEG (PCI Express Graphics) power connectors available in some computers directly to the 

6-position Molex-style power connector. Doing so will cause irreparable damage to the board. SpinCore Technologies is 
not liable for any damage caused by this.

A dedicated DC/DC power supply is optionally available from SpinCore Technologies, Inc.  For more information, 

please see:

 or the Related Products and 

Accessories section below.

Digital Output Connectors 

The digital outputs of the PBDDS-USB are present on both the J300 and J301 connectors.  J300 is a standard DB-9 

connector and J301 is a 5x2 shrouded IDC header.  The pinouts of these connectors and the corresponding signal names 
are shown on the next page in Figures 16 and 17 and Table 6 and Table 7 respectively.
