The ports of a measuring device are its gateway to the outside world. It is therefore particularly important to understand and to be able to use them. However, with all the connections and standards that are common in the industry, it is easy to lose track of them. That is why we want to tell you about the different types of connectors used in DEWETRONs TRION(3) boards and beyond. The naming of our TRION(3) boards follows the nomenclature below:
\n <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nomenclature of the TRION(3) boards<\/em><\/p>\n

 
\nThe last block indicates the connection type. TRION(3) boards primarily contain connectors of the following types: BNC, LEMO, D-SUB, RJ-45, SMB, safety banana plugs. We will deal with them one after the other.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

BNC<\/h2>\n
\n

Description & application: <\/strong>The BNC connector is probably the most commonly used coaxial connector type. The coaxial technology used offers excellent shielding against interference signals, making it therefore ideal for applications in radio or video technology. BNC is also perfectly suitable for transmitting weak current signals, for example in laboratories.<\/p>\n

Data acquisition modules:<\/strong> TRION-1620-LV\/ACC (6 channel BNC), TRION-1603-LV (6 channel BNC), TRION3-18xx-MULTI-AOUT-8 (3 channels BNC), TRION-2402-dACC (8 channel BNC), TRION-BASE, TRION-TIMING, TRION-VGPS-20\/100-V3<\/p>\n

Accessories: <\/strong>TRION-CBL-SMB-BNC-01-00: Adapter from BNC socket to SMB

LEMO<\/h2>\n
\n

Description & application:<\/strong> LEMO connectors can be used at temperatures up to 250 \u00b0C and are also protected against dust with IP50. It is therefore known as a versatile and robust connector. Applications for LEMO are in fiber optics or TV technology. Also, many laboratories use LEMO because of its high bandwidth, which ranges from low to high voltage. The LEMO B series comes in different sizes (LEMO 00 to LEMO B5).<\/p>\n

Data acquisition modules:<\/strong> TRION-1620-LV\/ACC (6 channel 1B LEMO), TRION-1603-LV (6 channel 1B LEMO), TRION(3)-1820-MULTI ( 8 channel 0B LEMO), TRION3-18xx-MULTI-AOUT-8 (8 channel 0B LEMO), TRION3-1850-MULTI-8-LOB (8 channel 0B LEMO), TRION-2402-MULTI-4-D (8 channel 0B LEMO), TRION-2402-dSTG (6\/8 channels 1b\/0B LEMO), TRION-BASE, TRION-VGPS-20\/100-V3, TRION-CNT<\/p>\n

Accessories: <\/strong>TRION-ADAP-CLAMP-L1B8-D9F: Adapter from LEMO 1B to D-SUB-9. This allows for example the connection of Hall sensors.

D-SUB<\/h2>\n
\n

Description & application: <\/strong>For data processing or computer system applications, D-SUB has become well established. This connector type was developed by CANON in 1952 and quickly adapted as a standard. Since D-SUB is a very versatile connector it is available in many different versions, ranging from high power to coaxial types.<\/p>\n

Data acquisition modules:<\/strong> TRION(3)-1820-MULTI (4 channel D-SUB), TRION3-18xx-MULTI-AOUT-8 (D-SUB-27), TRION3-1850-MULTI-8-LOB (4 channel D-SUB), TRION-2402-MULTI-4-D (4 channel D-SUB), TRION-1802\/1600-dLV-32, TRION-2402-dSTG (8 channel D-SUB-9), TRION-BASE, TRION-TIMING, TRION-VGPS-20\/100-V3, TRION-CAN (4 channel D-SUB-9)<\/p>\n

Accessories<\/strong>: TRION-CBL-D9-CPAD-01-00: Adapter from D-SUB-9 to CPAD. The connection to a CPAD module is possible.

Safety banana plugs<\/h2>\n
\n

Description & application: <\/strong>The banana plug is suitable for low voltage and low current applications. It is also capable of signal transmission to a certain extent. However, banana plugs lack noise isolation which limits it’s use cases. Advantages of the banana plug are its simple application and low cost production. It often finds application in electrical laboratories.<\/p>\n

Data acquisition modules:<\/strong> Trion-2402-V, TRION-1810-HV-8, TRION(3)-18xx-POWER-4, TRION3-1810-SUB-8<\/p>\n

Accessories: <\/strong>SMB SE-CUR-SHUNT-01(UNI): 20 mA shunt adapter for 4 mm banana plugs.
