DBK203
Screw-terminal adapter module with pull-out drawer. Superseded by DBK203A.
DBK203A
Screw-terminal adapter module (supersedes DBK203). DBK203A is the most popular of
these 5 DBK options.
DBK204

DBK203A use a DBK203.
DBK204c
DBK203A plus CA-209c CE cable kit. For use with compact PCIs and DaqBoard/2000c
Series boards. DBK204c units shipped prior to the release of DBK203A use a DBK203.
Each of these units includes:
(a) P1, Analog Input, DB37 connector
(b) P2, Digital I/O DB37 connector
(c) P3, internal 40-pin header, for Digital I/O and Analog Out. The 40-pin header connects to a
Pulse/Frequency DBK card, or to a module’s P3 connector via a
CA-60 cable. These cables have a 40-pin female connector at one end and a DB37 (37-pin)
male connector at the other end.
(d) P4, 100-pin connector which includes all signals found in P1, P2, and P3, collectively.
(e) Internal, on-board, screw-terminal blocks which correlate with P1, P2, and P3
(f)
Internal, on-board socket locations for custom RC Filter networks
