INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

NI TB-2666

Terminal Block for the NI PXI-2566

This guide describes how to install and connect signals to the 
National Instruments TB-2666 terminal block. Refer to the 

NI Switches 

Getting Started Guide

 to determine when to install the terminal block.

Introduction 

The TB-2666 terminal block installs in front of the PXI-2566 switch 
module and has screw terminals that provide access to each of the 16 relays. 
Connections for the trigger output and trigger input signals also are 
available. 

Caution

This terminal block is rated for Measurement Category I and intended to carry 

signal voltages no greater than 150 V. This module can withstand up to 800 V impulse 
voltage. Do not use this module for connection to signals or for measurements within 
Categories II, III, or IV. Do not connect to MAINS supply circuits (for example, wall 
outlets) of 115 or 230 VAC. Refer to the 

NI Switches Getting Started Guide

 for more 

information on measurement categories.

When hazardous voltages (>42.4 V

pk

/60 VDC) are present on any relay terminal, safety 

low-voltage (

42.4 V

pk

/60 VDC) cannot be connected to any other relay terminal.
