Cable Information
To interface with your system, you will need to design and build cables customized for your application. NAI does offer some cabling options for rear transition modules. This will require the unique pinout map for your configuration. The pinout map should have been provided to you during the sales process. If you do not have it, please contact us.
NAI offers a comprehensive range of high-quality cables designed to complement our COSA Systems, including SIUs and NIUs. These cables are engineered for durability, optimal performance, and easy integration with our rugged, configurable solutions. Allow your system’s design team to focus on final system cabling while your integration team gets to work on schedule.
Jumpstart Development: NAI Development Cables
NAI provides a variety of development cable kits and subassemblies to support quick system bring-up and integration in lab environments. These accessories enable fast connection to customer-specific sensors, devices, and test equipment for command, control, measurement, and simulation of real-world I/O.
Cables may terminate to standard commercial connectors (e.g., RJ45, DB9) or to NAI’s common-use Harwin 44-pin connectors, which interface with the 44PIN-Development-BD – a quick connect screw-terminal breakout board designed to simplify access to individual I/O signals.
The 44PIN-Development-BD is used in conjunction with specific cable assemblies, and is included in select basic cable kits. For complex or expanded I/O configurations, it can be purchased separately to supplement additional I/O kit connections as needed.
For custom-configured System Integration Units (SIUs), NAI offers cable kits tailored to the specific I/O setup. Contact the factory for a quote.
See the Cable Offerings section below for some examples and detailed drawings of cable subassemblies, included with the specific cable kit.

Convection-Cooled Cards
If you are using a convection-cooled card, male connector pins from Harwin are required to communicate with the front panel. This table shows the proper mating connectors for your I/O board or SBC. These connectors may be purchased separately as part of a kit which includes the connector, backshell, pins and jackscrews. Please contact us to purchase this kit.
| Front Panel Harwin Connectors | Description | Associated Products |
|---|---|---|
| Harwin P/N M80-5S25022M3 | 50-pin male connectors, 2 mm | 68G5, 68ARM1, 75ARM1, 75G5 |
| Harwin P/N M80-5114422 | 44-pin male connectors, 2 mm | 64ARM1, 64G5, 75PPC1, 75INT2 |
PCIe Cards 79G5 & 79C3
NAI’s PCIe cards, the 79G5 and 79C3, may need an external ±12 VDC source to power specific simulation modules. In this case the user can connect the ±12 VDC source to either the front panel J1 connector or the J3 header connector of the 79C3. The header for the 79C3 J3 connector is the Molex p/n: 53014-0310. NAI does not supply the cable mate for the J3 header. For more information on a header and help finding a mate please click here.
Note
The below table shows the proper connectors for the 79G5
| J3 | Prior to 5/21/2018 | As of 5/21/2018 |
|---|---|---|
| PCB | Molex 530140310 (NAI 05-0212) | Molex 532530370 (NAI 05-0377) |
| Cable Mate | Molex 510040300 (NAI 05-0213) | Molex 510650300 (NAI 05-0378) |

Rear Transition Modules
If your specific application requires I/O signals that are on the front panel of a conduction-cooled card, NAI’s Rear Transition Modules (RTMs) are designed to provide an interface to access the front I/O of the card from the rear of the card, mimicking the card front panel 44-pin pinouts and are optimized for the platform. To reference these pinouts please look at the product manual for your product to see which rear module I/O signals are being brought out to the front panel pins. The board pinouts in the manual will reflect the pinouts of the RTM. RTMs are also available for any boards with a convection cooled option (cPCI, VME, and VPX). These boards are typically used for development, but can be used for convection-cooled systems.
Breakout Boards
NAI’s breakout boards provide industry standard connections to our card utility port. The breakout boards provide communication to a host machine via ethernet, serial, and USB 2.0. These boards assist with programming your application through a host machine without connecting through a custom cable.
