Q10094 6-pin clock/trigger connector

Tags: Help, MSXB048, MSXB060, MSXB061, MSXB064, MSXB065, MSXB066, MSXB067

Applies to: a-Series DAP accessory models that include clocking and triggering signals on a 6-pin keyed connector

I have a board with a 6-pin keyed Molex connector for clocking input. How should I connect to it?

A 6-pin SIP (Molex) connector is used primarily for clock and trigger input on some analog input expansion boards. The connector is keyed with a 0.079" (2mm) spacing. It mates with female (receptable, socket) 6-pin connector on a connecting cable.

Mating Hardware

The 6-pin SIP connectors on the expansion boards are Molex part 53014-0610, or equivalent. They mate with the following parts from Molex for a discrete wire cable:

  • 6-pin connector shell - 51004-0600
  • Crimp pins - 50011-8100, 24-30 AWG

Many other connector manufacturers make compatible mating connectors. Manufacturer representatives can generally find mating parts based on the Molex part numbers.
