National Instruments TBX-96 Mass Termination Terminal Block

Featured with 96 screw terminals, the NI TBX-96 (Part Number: 777264-01) is a mass termination Terminal Block. This Terminal Block is designed for the SCXI-1104 Series, SCXI-1102 Series, SCXI-1140 Series, and the SCXI-1100. The screw terminals on this Terminal Block can be connected to the corresponding channels of the SCXI module through a SH96-96 shielded or R96-96 ribbon cable. The user can easily connect the signal wires by pushing the stripped end of the wire completely into the terminal.

This model comes equipped with one 96-Pin Male DIN Connector on the front panel. Beneath this DIN connector, there are three rows of screw terminals: A, B, and C. Each row has 32 screw terminals. Accessing the right screw terminal is not an issue because of labeling. The process of mounting the NI TBX-96 is straightforward because it does not involve any particular tool. The user can easily attach the Terminal Block by snapping it into a compatible DIN rail. There are two compatible DIN rails for the NI TBX-96: DIN EN 50 022 and DIN EN 50 035.

In addition, the National Instruments TBX-96 Terminal Block can easily be removed from the DIN rail with the help of a flathead screwdriver.

This Terminal Block offers 60 VDC, 30 Vrms, or 42.4 Vpeak maximum operating voltage, and can handle up to 14 AWG wires. The NI TBX-96 is an adequate substitute for conventional front-mount terminal blocks.
