Connectors
The cable connects a 160-pin female DIN connector (DIN160 connector) to three 50-pin female D-SUB
connectors, a second DIN160 connector, or six bundles, legs J0–J5, of unterminated, tinned, and
stripped wires. The DIN160 connector provides connection to the NI PXI-2510. The 50-pin female
D-SUB connectors, second DIN160 connector, and unterminated cables provide connection to your
application. Figures 5 and 6 show the pinouts for the DIN160 connectors and the 50-pin female D-SUB
connectors.
