160-Pin DIN Cable

for the NI PXI-2520, NI PXI-2521, NI PXI-2522, NI PXI-2523, and
NI PXI-2510

This guide describes how to connect and use the National Instruments 160-Pin DIN shielded
cable, which has a maximum voltage rating of 150 V, CAT I. Use this cable to connect the
NI PXI-2520/2521/2522/2523 (NI 252x) or NI PXI-2510 (NI 2510) switch modules to your
application.

Caution The protection provided by the 160-Pin DIN cable can be impaired if it is

used in a manner not described in this document.

The 160-Pin DIN cable for NI 252x and NI 2510 is available in three configurations:

• SH160DIN-4XDB50F-2A

• SH160DIN-160DIN-2A

• SH160DIN-BARE WIRE-2A

The cable connects a 160-Pin female DIN connector (DIN 160 connector) to the following:

• Four 50-pin female D-SUB connectors

• A second 160-Pin DIN connector

• Eight bundles, legs P1-P8, of unterminated, tinned, and stripped wires

The 160-Pin DIN connector provides connection to the NI 252x and NI 2510. The 50-pin female
D-SUB connectors, second 160-Pin DIN connector, and unterminated cables provide connection
to your application. Figures 5 and 6 show the pinouts for the 160-Pin DIN connectors and the
50-pin female D-SUB connectors.

SH160DIN-160DIN-2A Cable

The SH160DIN-160DIN-2A cable is recommended for connecting the NI 252x or NI 2510 to a
system that terminates with a male 160-Pin DIN connector.

Use the pinouts and the pin assignments listed in Table 5 to determine how to connect signals to
your application using the SH160DIN-160DIN-2A cable.

Refer to the NI Switches Help for a complete listing of channel names and pinouts.

SH160DIN-BARE WIRE-2A Cable

The SH160DIN-BARE WIRE-2A cable is recommended for connecting the NI 252x or the
NI 2510 to your system if termination with a connector other than a 50-pin female D-SUB or
160-Pin DIN connector is required. One end of the cable terminates with a 160-Pin DIN
connector. The other end of the cable has eight bundles of unterminated, tinned, and stripped
wires.

Use the pinouts and the pin assignments listed in Tables 6 through 13 to determine how to
connect signals to your application.

Note The first color listed in the Bare Wire Color column of Tables 6 through 13 is

the primary color of the wire. The second color listed is the stripe color.
