General Standards X23057 68-Pin Breakout Board

The General Standards X23057 is a 68-pin breakout board that provides direct access to all pins of a 68-pin connector through individual screw terminals. Designed for prototyping, testing, and equipment interfacing, this board simplifies signal routing and measurement in laboratory and industrial environments. The board accepts wire gauges from 18 to 26 AWG and measures 2.88 inches in width, with length tailored to application requirements.

Technical Specifications

Connector Type: 68-pin (Half-Pitch DSUB, VHDCI, or SCSI variants)

Pin Count: 68 pins with individual screw terminal access

Wire Gauge: 18–26 AWG

Board Width: 2.88 inches

Termination: Screw terminals for each pin; shielding provisions available

Prototyping Support: Solder pad connection spaces (two per pin) at 0.1" spacing accommodate pin headers and discrete components

Key Features

Full individual pin accessibility eliminates the need for proprietary breakout cables

Screw terminals enable secure, field-replaceable connections without soldering

Dedicated shield terminal for grounded return paths

Solder pads support custom component integration for signal conditioning or protection circuits

Benchtop construction with rubber feet; DIN rail mounting available on select variants

Typical Applications

DAQ system prototyping and integration testing

SCSI device interfacing and diagnostics

Equipment signal routing and measurement

Custom instrumentation development requiring pin-level access

Laboratory benchtop signal distribution

Compatibility & Integration The X23057 integrates with equipment using Half-Pitch DSUB, VHDCI, or SCSI-3 (Micro DB68) connectors. Half-Pitch DSUB variants are compatible with National Instruments DAQ cards and measurement accessories. SCSI applications benefit from the 68-pin Half-Pitch DSUB pinout, enabling direct connection to legacy and current SCSI devices without intermediate adapters.
