Connecting Multiple Driver Cards

Installing the 87130A Attenuator/Switch Driver

Connecting Switch Drivers to Switches and Attenuators

The cards are numbered from 1 to 8; the relays on each card are numbered from 0 to 30. Each relay is referred to as a channel by the switch driver. Therefore, there are a total of 248 relays (channels) that can be driven from a single switch driver.

In a single enclosure, place connectors (part number 1251-7090) on ribbon cables (part number 70611-60013) to daisy chain driver cards.

To reliably install the 34-pin connector to the ribbon cable use the following 3M tools. (To order from 3M, call 1-800-225-5373).

Item	3M Part Number

Platen	3442-1A

Locator plate	3443-94

Hand press	3540
