SC-2345 Carrier with Configurable Connectors
The SC-2345 with Configurable Connectors is electrically and
functionally identical to the SC-2345 connector block. The only
differences are the orientation of some modules and the addition of
I/O connector and interface panelettes. This carrier is available with
either a side 68-pin connector (recommended for DAQCard products)
or a rear 68-pin connector (recommended for DAQPad products).
The SC-2345 with Configurable Connectors handles dual-stage
conditioning and digital I/O modules. It also offers custom
connectivity by adding panelettes along its front and rear panels.
Select up to 18 panelettes for side-mount 68-pin versions, or
15 panelettes for rear-mount 68-pin versions. With I/O panelettes,
you can connect your sensor directly to the SCC system. With
interface panelettes, you can add hardware controls and displays to
your system. Blank panelettes are also available to fill unused
positions or for modification to fit your custom application needs.

Table 1. SC-2345 Panelettes Options
Panelettes
If you choose either of the two versions of the SC-2345 with
configurable connectors as your carrier, then you can install
connectivity and interface panelettes to customize your SCC system.
Panelette options include BNC, SMB, LEMO (B-Series), MIL-Spec,
banana jack, thermocouple plug, 9-pin D-Sub connectors, rocker
switches, toggle switches, momentary switches, potentiometers, and
LEDs. Please note, some panelettes occupy more than one panelette
slot. All panelettes except for the strain-relief options include lead
wires that you connect to the screw terminals of any SCC module or
to the 42-pin screw terminal block inside the SC-2345. The
thermocouple and minithermocouple jack connector wires are made
of the appropriate metals to avoid forming unwanted cold junctions.
