National Instruments SCXI-1373 Chassis Panel-Mount Kit

The National Instruments SCXI-1373 (Part Number: 776577-73) Chassis Panel-Mount Kit is designed to securely mount a 4-slot or 12-slot SCXI chassis to any suitable surface, providing a reliable and organized setup for various industrial and laboratory applications. This kit includes the following hardware components: two rack-mount brackets, two No. 6-32 thumbscrews, two No. 8-32 thumbscrews, four No. 10-32 screws, four No. 10-32 nuts, and four No. 10 lock washers. These components keep the chassis securely secured, limiting any movement or vibration that could impair the operation of the mounted modules.

A common tool for signal conditioning and data collecting in a variety of industrial settings is the SCXI system, of which the SCXI-1373 kit is an essential part. To enable precise and dependable data collecting, the SCXI chassis is equipped with signal conditioning modules that link with a range of sensors and transducers. Stability and accuracy are critical in settings like these, and the SCXI-1373 kit's robust attachment is essential to preserving the system's integrity.

To enhance the SCXI system, National Instruments provides a range of terminal blocks. For instance, the SCXI-13xx front-mount terminal blocks provide direct connections to transducers using front-mounted BNC connectors or screw terminals housed in a completely shielded shell. For applications requiring high voltage or temperature channels, these terminal blocks are perfect. The TBX DIN-rail mount terminal blocks, which connect via shielded cables to the front I/O connection of the SCXI module, provide an additional mounting option.

With an operational temperature range of -40 °C to 70 °C and a storage temperature range of -40 °C to 85 °C, the SCXI-1373 kit is designed to survive challenging climatic conditions. Because it satisfies IP40 ingress protection criteria, it can be used in settings where there is a risk of dust and other particle exposure. With an operational humidity range of 10% RH to 90% RH, non-condensing, and a storage humidity range of 5% RH to 95% RH, non-condensing, the kit may also function in high humidity environments. It is built to resist severe shock and vibration and is rated for operation at altitudes of up to 5,000 meters.
