Cable
Terminal
Block
I
The
HP
34504, 34505,
and
34506 plug-in modules have lockable
female
BNC
connectors for user connections. These female BNC connectors accept user-
supplied locking male BNC connectors
or
the
non-locking BNC
connectors
sup-
plied with the cable
or
bulkhead terminal blocks.
The
cable terminal
block
is
supplied with BNC modules having an
"A"
suffix in its model
number
(e.g.
HP
34506A).
The
bulkhead terminal block
is
supplied
with
modules
having
a
"B"
suffix
(e.g.
HP 34506B).
No
terminal block
is
supplied
with
modules
having
a
"C"
suffix
(e.g.
HP
34506C).
Figure 33 shows
an
assembled cable terminal block supplied
with
the
HP
34504,
34505,
or
34506 modules
with
an
"A"
suffix. This terminal block
is
used
when
the
wiring configuration
is
not
likely
to
change often.
It
contains
non-locking
BNC male connectors which
mate
to
the module. Field cabling
is
soldered
directly
to
these connectors opposite
the
module.
The
non-locking
connectors
al-
low
the
entire cable terminal block
to
be removed
from
the
module
and
recon-
figured. However, since
the
cables
are
permanently
attached
to
the
cable
ter-
minal, it
is
not as easy
to
reconfigure
as
the
bulkhead terminal block.
For
rapid
system reconfiguration,
the
cable terminal block
can
be removed
and
replaced
by
another
pre-wired terminal block (extra cable terminal blocks
are
available as ac-
cessories).
The
cable terminal block also makes the plug-in
module
compatible
with
the
optional Quick
Interconnect
Fixture. Refer
to
the section titled
nlnstalling the Quick Interconnect Fixture
11
for
more information.
