SHC68-68-EPM screw thread

[johngardner58]

Hello we are trying to connect the SHC68-68-epm to a right angle PCB mount connector.   First we don't know what threads the jack screw uses in this cable.   I suspect M2?     Our PCB connector has M2.5. Does NI have a compatible PCB connector with standoffs so that we can screw these cables in or are there replacement jack screws supporting M2.5.   What connector is used in the terminal block?

Hi johngardner58,

According to the KnowledgeBase article "Screw Sizes for M Series Connectors" it looks like the SHC68-68-epm cable uses screws of size 2-56 UNC-2A. A 68-pin terminal connector that can be used with the SHC68-68epm cable for making custom mounts can be found on the "PCB Mounting Connectors" page.
