Overview
DBK11A is a passive card that provides screw-terminal connections and optional BNC connections in
place of a 37-pin (DB37) connector; i.e., P1, P2, or P3. In addition to providing access to all 37 pins on a
DB37 connector, the card includes sockets for optional passive-filtering components.
In regard to the optional filtering aspect, the card provides connectivity between DB37 pins and screw
terminals while passing through the card’s prototyping area, as can be seen in the following figure. This
region of the DBK11A can accommodate resistors, capacitors, and custom wiring. The user can choose
component values to meet application requirements.
Note: DBK11A is compatible with DB37 connectors, for example the P1, P2, and P3 connectors on
LogBook, DaqBook, and DaqBoard devices. The DBK11A card has footprints for 4 BNC
connectors that can be soldered onto the card.
