NI TB-2627
Terminal Block for the NI PXI/PXIe-2527
This guide describes how to install and connect signals to the
National Instruments TB-2627 terminal block to configure your
NI PXI/PXIe-2527 switch module as one of the following:
• 64 × 1 1-wire multiplexer
• 32 × 1 2-wire multiplexer
• 16 × 1 4-wire multiplexer
• Dual 32 × 1 1-wire multiplexer
• Dual 16 × 1 2-wire multiplexer
Refer to the NI Switches Getting Started Guide to determine when to install
the NI TB-2627.
Introduction
The NI TB-2627 terminal block installs in front of the NI PXI/PXIe-2527
switch module. The NI TB-2627 has screw terminals that provide access to
all channels of the multiplexer.
Caution The NI TB-2627 is rated for 300 V, Measurement Category I. Do not use this
module with the NI PXI/PXIe-2527 for connections to signals or for measurements within
Categories II, III, or IV. Do not connect to MAINs supply circuits (for example, wall
outlets) of 115 or 230 VAC. Refer to the Read Me First: Safety and Electromagnetic
Compatibility document for more information on measurement categories.

1. Unpack the Terminal Block
To avoid damage when you handle the terminal block, take the following
precautions:
Caution Never touch the exposed pins of connectors.
• Ground yourself using a grounding strap or by touching a grounded
object.
• Touch the antistatic package to a metal part of the chassis before you
remove the terminal block from the package.
Remove the terminal block from the package and inspect the terminal block
for loose components or any sign of damage. Notify NI if the terminal
block appears damaged in any way.

©National Instruments Corporation 3 NI TB-2627 Installation Instructions
Caution Do not install a damaged terminal block on a switch terminal block.
Store the terminal block in the antistatic package when not in use.
2. Verify the Components
Make sure you have the following:
❑NI TB-2627 terminal block
❑NI PXI/PXIe-2527 switch module
❑PXI chassis
❑1/8 in. flathead screwdriver
❑Wire cutter
❑Wire insulation stripper
3. Connect Signals
Caution Ensure that power has not been applied to signals prior to connection. Only
trained and qualified service personnel should install and connect signals.
To connect signals to the terminal block, complete the following steps:
1. Prepare the signal wire by stripping the insulation no more than
3/16 of an inch from the end of the wire.
2. Remove the terminal block top cover screws with the flathead
screwdriver.
3. Gently lift the top cover off the terminal block.
4. Loosen the two screws on the strain-relief assembly and remove the
top strain-relief bar.
5. Connect the safety earth ground to a safety ground lug.
6. Connect the wire to the terminal by inserting the stripped end of the
wire into the terminal. When connecting a signal, refer to the terminal
reference diagram in Figure 4.
7. Tighten the screw for the terminal to secure the connection.
8. Pull the wire through the strain-relief bar to remove the slack in the
wiring.
9. Replace the strain-relief bar and tighten the two screws on the
strain-relief assembly to secure the cables.

Caution In order to comply with standards and laws governing electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC), you must install the NI 711627-01 snap-on ferrite shipped with the
NI TB-2627 terminal block. Install the ferrite as close to the NI TB-2627 terminal block as
possible. Wrap all wires exiting the terminal block around one side of the ferrite so that
they pass through the ferrite twice, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3.

4. Install the Terminal Block
To connect the NI TB-2627 terminal block to the NI PXI/PXIe-2527 front
panel, complete the following steps:
Note The NI PXI/PXIe-2527 should already be installed in a PXI chassis.
1. Plug the NI TB-2627 into the front connector of the
NI PXI/PXIe-2527.
2. Tighten the top and bottom chassis screws on the back of the terminal
block rear panel to hold it securely in place.

5. Use the Cold-Junction Sensor Output
A cold-junction sensor (thermistor) is located near the J13 connector on the
PCB of the NI TB-2627. The cold-junction sensor outputs 0.2 V to 0.024 V
from 0 °C to 50 °C. From 15 °C to 35 °C, the NI TB-2627 has an accuracy
of ±0.5 °C. From 0 °C to 15 °C and 35 °C to 50 °C, the NI TB-2627 has an
accuracy of ±1.0 °C.
NI software can convert a thermistor voltage to the thermistor temperature
for the circuit diagram used in the NI TB-2627 and shown in Figure 6.
Figure 6. Temperature Sensor Circuit Diagram
For example code, visit ni.com/zone, click the Example Code link in the
navigation bar, and enter PXI-2527 in the Search field. Alternatively, you
can use the following formulas.
T(°C) = TK– 273.15
where TKis the temperature in Kelvin,
where a= 1.295361 ×10–3,
b= 2.343159 ×10–4,
