Overview
The CableEye CB9 connector board is a modular test interface fixture engineered by CAMI Research for power and control cable harness testing. This board includes connector positions for Molex strip headers and sockets (both 0.156″ and 0.100″ centers) up to 25 pins, AMP MATE-N-LOK® connectors (2-, 3-, and 4-pin male and female), AMP MATE-N-LOK® Matrix connectors (male, up to 15-pin), and Molex Mini-Fitâ„¢ (male, up to 10-pin). The CB9 provides technicians and engineers with a standard platform for quick connector configuration and automated cable continuity, resistance, and insulation testing.
Key Features
- Configurable connector layout: Connectors are provided unsoldered in a separate package so you may configure the board to suit your needs, including Molex 24-pin and 25-pin breakaway header strips, header sockets, and MATE-N-LOK® male connector headers
- Multi-connector support: Accommodates Molex Dupoint headers, AMP MATE-N-LOK® power connectors, and Molex Mini-Fit™ connectors in one fixture
- Universal compatibility: Physically mates with all models of CableEye® testers and the CableEye QuickMount™ Housing
- Standard voltage rating: Rated to operate at 500Vdc/ac unless otherwise specified
- Auto-detected interface: Software for connector graphics self-adjusts to measured wiring
