This guide is intended to cover connectors and cables for use with C Series Modules. It does not explicitly cover other NI product families such as DAQ Multifunction I/O, Digital Waveform Instruments (formerly HSDIO), or R Series. It also does not cover legacy or End of Life (EOL) parts or products. Additionally, these products are supported in cRIO and/or cDAQ chassis, but this guide does not cover chassis accessories.
Note: Using the page search functionality in your browser to locate your model may speed up this process. This is typically CTRL+F on Windows or ⌘+F on MacOS.
This page is arranged by first having you identify the connector type on your C Series Module, locating the information for your specific model, and then choosing the accessory or cable combination that best fits your needs.
How to identify the model number of your C Series Module:
The model number of the C Series Module is printed on the faceplate of the module and also in the Getting Started that ships with the module.
Figure 1: C Series with Screw Terminal Front Connection
Note: All C Series Modules with screw terminal front connection ship with the one unit of the recommended screw terminal block. This guide provides accessory guidance for the screw terminals to assist with replacements or the purchasing of additional screw terminal blocks.
