What header needed for TB-2676 ribbon cables?

[dako1294]

I'm using the PXI-2576 with the TB-2676.  The installation instructions state that you can buy a kit from NI, or use 8 2x10 .100 pitch ribbon cables.  I chose to use my own assemblies, but then found that the ribbon cable connectors have to have a very low profile to allow the cover to close after the cables are installed.

Has anyone else run into this problem, and do you have a manufacturers P/N that worked to provide the proper clearance?

Thanks.

Hi Dako,

In the National Instruments kit, we use 2x10 0.100 in. Pitch Ribbon Cable Connectors from Samtec, Part Number IDD-10-HG.  You can also obtain the finished 0.100 in. Pitch Cable Connector Assembly from Samtec, Part Number IDSD-10 Series.

Hope this helps!
