National Instruments SCXI-1300 Terminal Block

Featured with an onboard temperature sensor, the National Instruments SCXI-1300 (Part Number: 777687-00) is a General-Purpose Terminal Block. With this model, the user can link input signals to the SCXI-1102 Series, SCXI-1104, and SCXI-1100 modules. Apart from this, the SCXI-1300 can also be used with the SCXI-1181K and SCXI-1300 modules. This module is designed in such a way that it can easily be mounted to the front of SCXI modules. The NI SCXI-1300 comes equipped with a 96-pin DIN output connector through which it is connected to the SCXI module. The integrated cold-junction sensor on the SCXI-1300 can operate with 1.3 °C accuracy from 0 to 50 °C and repeatability of ± 0.5 °C. The sensor generates an output of 10 mV/°C (to 0.5 V from 0 to 50 °C).

To use the SCXI-1300, the following equipment are needed: your SCXI-1300 terminal block, the SCXI-1300 Terminal Block Installation Guide, SCXI chassis, SCXI module, your SCXI module user manual, 1/8 in. flathead screwdriver, number 1 and 2 Phillips-head screwdrivers, wire insulation stripper, long-nose pliers, and a wire cutter.

Using a 32-channel SCXI module with the SCXI-1300 Terminal Block allows the user to interconnect signals via screw terminals. To connect to an SCXI module`s 32 differential inputs, this model features 32 pairs of screw terminals. It also has two screw terminals that are utilized to connect to the functional chassis ground pins of the module. In addition, the NI SCXI-1300 comes with a solder lug as a chassis ground for safety purposes. Additional screw terminals are available to connect to the SCXIbus GUARD, the SCXI module OUTPUT, and the SCXI module AOREF. The National Instruments SCXI-1300 is a small device measuring 49.3 by 4.3 by 18.8 cm in physical dimensions, and it is designed to operate within a broad temperature range.

The SCXI-1300 has recommended operating and storage temperature ranges of 0 to 50 °C and –20 to 70 °C respectively, and a non-condensing relative humidity range of 10 to 90%. The NI device is designed to comply with the following electrical safety standards: IEC 61010-1, EN 61010-1, UL 61010-1, and CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61010-1.

The SCXI-1300 is available to be calibrated. While the recommended calibration period for individual parts varies, most parts should be calibrated either annually or every two years to ensure accuracy. If you need the SCXI-1300 calibrated, Apex Waves provides options. We offer high-quality NIST accredited calibrations through a 3rd party, with an average turnaround time of 1 to 2 weeks. When you order the SCXI-1300 with us, you can request basic (unaccredited) in-house calibration that will calibrate the part to the manufacturer specifications prior to being shipped.
