Refer to the front panel pinout diagram in your module specifications. 
Use this diagram to insert the solder cup pins (with conductors 
attached) into the connector. Solder cup pins will snap into place when 
inserted correctly, as shown in Figure 3

Note

The letters on the backshell connector match the letters on the module. For example, 

connector position “A” on your PXI-2585/2586 switch module will mate with the 
connector in position “A” on the backshell kit. 

Note

Take care to insert the pin into the correct connector position. Once the pin is 

inserted, it can only be removed from the connector with an extraction tool. Extraction 
tools must be purchased separately.
