National Instruments GP36-DB25-LL Cable Assembly

The National Instruments GP36-DB25-LL 24-inch Spring Pin Cable Assembly is designed to ensure robust, reliable connections for semiconductor testing and other signal integrity-based applications. This is a series of the GP36 with 36-position pogo blocks for secure, repeatable connectivity in harsh environments.

The GP36-DB25-LL has been fitted with a DB25 connector, which includes a standard D-subminiature design, encompassing a 25-pin configuration in two rows. Such connectors have been widely adopted due to their great versatility and good reliability for serial and parallel port connectivity. The D-shaped shell allows for correct orientation and attachment, while the layout of the particular pinouts allows for effective data transmission, control signaling, and power interfacing. Shielding is also provided by the DB25 connector, minimizing interference—something quite important when performing high-precision tests.

What really makes the GP36-DB25-LL different from a normal cable is its low-loss design, minimizing signal attenuation while sustaining optimal performance over length. This is rather an important feature in ensuring that the transfer of data is very accurate, as would be needed in semiconductor test systems where precision and reliability are very critical. The construction is optimized to meet the demanding standards of National Instruments' semiconductor test solutions and ensures consistent, dependable operation over extended use.

The pogo pin block integrated into the GP36 series are an array of spring-loaded pins providing temporary yet highly reliable electrical connections. These are designed to perform a large number of engagements reliably without affecting the integrity of the signal, making the GP36-DB25-LL suitable for applications with frequent connect-disconnect operations. In the 36-pin configuration, a lot of signals can be transmitted at one time, thereby enhancing its utility for complex testing scenarios. Furthermore, the RoHS compliance underlines the quality of the product to standards that ensure a product free of hazardous substances, fit for use anywhere in the world.
