1 - M3Z (768 TPs) continuity tester fitted with stock, interchangeable, plug and play, quick-connect CB30D interface fixtures for testing cables terminated with LFH200 connectors.

Each CB30D daughter board is mounted to a CB30.

The test unit shown comprises a control module and five expansion modules and can be further expanded to a total of 2560 test points.

The auto ID connector graphics for the LFH connectors appears below.

2 - We designed the CB30B daughter board shown here to mount on the CB30 board to interface the Cannon DL-156 ZIF (zero insertion force) connectors. This 384-point CableEye system provides three 64-pin banks for each connector. The CB30 board can also be configured for Cannon DL-96 and DL-60 connectors.

The connector graphic for the DL-156 appears below.

3 - This CB30 board secures an adapter cable for a 128-pin high-density circular connector. Nylon lacing and wire-ties are used to route and secure the wiring leading to the terminal pads.


4 - We mounted two independent circular connectors on this CB30. Because the customer wanted both connectors on the same board and more than 64 test points were required to do this, we used a CB30 (128-points maximum) instead of a CB8 (64-points maximum). The board is wired from the back, and if you look carefully, you can see some of the wiring through the unused slots.

The upward-facing connector in the front takes a 64-conductor flat cable that connects to an expansion module to obtain the additional test points needed.


5 - In this application, four adapter cables connect to a single CB30 board. The upward-facing connector seen in the previous image is mounted on this CB30 in a downward direction on the back of the board to make room for the adapter cables. Padding is added to the front edge of the board to prevent chafing as the adapter cables are moved around.

6 - This unusual connector required more than 128 test points, so we used all 128 point from a CB30, and added a single 64-pin AMPMODU connector to pick up the remaining points and route them to an available bank on the tester.
