Introduction
The TB-2706 is a terminal block assembly consisting of a printed circuit board, 70 screw terminals, and
a metal enclosure with strain relief hardware. The terminal block assembly connects directly to the front
panel of National Instruments PXI-622x, PXI-625x, PXIe-625x, PXI-628x, and PXI-6143 devices,
eliminating the need for an external cable.
The TB-2706 allows you to easily connect analog input, analog output, counter/timer, and digital I/O
signals to your National Instruments device. The 70 screw terminals allow access to every pin on the
connector, plus two shield screw terminals for use with a shielded cable. For M Series devices with
two connectors, this terminal block allows access to every pin on Connector 0, plus two shield screw
terminals for use with a shielded cable, but makes Connector 1 inaccessible.
Caution
The TB-2706 is not designed for input voltages greater than 42 V
install a voltage divider that reduces the voltage to within the input range of the DAQ device. Input
voltages greater than 42 V
host computer. Overvoltage also can cause an electric shock hazard for the operator. National
Instruments is not liable for damage or injury resulting from such misuse.
