HP E5346A/E5351A
High-Density Adapter Cable
Installation Note
High-density adapter cables provide a convenient way to connect two
HP logic analyzer probe cables to a small area of a target system. The
HPE5346A cable has RCR networks in the cable end that connects to
the high-density AMP Mictor (Matched Impedance ConnecTOR)
connector. The HP E5351A cable does not have RCR networks, so
terminations must be made on the target system.

Installation overview
1 Attach the Mictor connector(s) to the target system. Use 38-pin
surface mount receptacles, AMP part number 2-767004-2.
2 Align the Mictor connector with the support shroud. Note pin 1
orientation for both connector and shroud.
3 Attach the support shroud around the Mictor connector. Use HP
Part Number E5346-44701 support shroud.
4 Connect the high-density adapter cable to the Mictor connector
and then to the logic analyzer.
Tabs on the support shroud lock the high-density adapter cable into
the Mictor connector to provide dependable connections and prevent it
from inadvertently being disconnected. They also protect the flexible
end of the adapter from being bent and damaged.
