SCC Box Molex Connector

[Gary_MavSysInc]

I have purchased the SCC box with power option 001 (5VDC supplied by the DAQ board). I assume power will be supplied over the 68-pin cable from the DAQ board, but there is a molex connector on the back of the SCC box that has me concerned. What is the molex connector for?

Hi Gary,

Thankyou for posting to the National Instruments Discussion Forums.

This Knowledge Base explains what different power options are available for the SC-2345 carrier box.

With the power option you have you can use +5V from either your DAQ board or an external power supply. The external power supply connects at the molex connector and generally a DC apater.

As such, if you're specific application is running correctly using power from the DAQ board and you do not need extra current, you should be fine with the current setup.

Hope this helps!
