TS-15010 Pinout

Figure 1. TS-15010 Power Connector Pinout (Vsup and Vaux)


The TestScale backplanes have two four-pin power connectors to supply power to the entire TestScale assembly.

  • Vsup—Supplies power to the backplane components and to all module slots.
  • Vaux—Increases available current to any installed modules with high-power requirements, such as programmable power supplies. Refer to your module specifications for Vaux power consumption information.
