National Instruments SCXI-1302

The National Instruments SCXI-1302 (Part Number: 777687-02) is a high-performance 50-screw front-mount terminal block designed for seamless integration with the SCXI-1180 feedthrough panel. This terminal block is adept at establishing uncomplicated signal connections and is shielded to ensure reliable operation in demanding environments. The SCXI-1302 features multiple mounting options, including rack and DIN rail mounts, along with strain-relief clamps that secure the signal wires, enhancing the integrity of connections to transducers. For configuration, the SCXI-1302 requires several tools, such as wire strippers, cutters, and flathead as well as Philips-head screwdrivers, alongside an SCXI chassis and the SCXI-1180 feedthrough panel. The terminal block supports a maximum field wire gauge of 26-16 AWG with DC coupling and offers a corner frequency of 0.16 Hz with 1-pole RC characteristics, along with a DC rejection capacity of ±50 VDC. The SCXI-1302 is compatible with NIDAQmx driver software and can be programmed via LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and other application development environments, with configuration accessible through the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) tool. This device adheres to stringent electrical safety standards including IEC 61010-1, EN 61010-1, UL 61010-1, and CSA 61010-1. Although National Instruments has announced the SCXI-1302 as obsolete, availability for purchase and repair is still supported through Apex Waves.
