Keithley 199 scanner cnnection?

[r6502]

Hello all,

I own a 199 Keithley multimeter, that came with the scanner card, but no connecting cable connector.

Does somebody knew the type of connector that I can use? In the BOM only the Keithly article number is shown.

It's called Phoenix connector. There are many types of them, for example - 1764303. But it may not fit in such a narrow place.

Hi r6502,

The correct connector is Phoenix Contact MSTB2.5 series.
Take care: the contact pitch is 5mm (metric), NOT 0,2" !!

I have got these:

Although I have two Keithley 199s with scanner cards, I never use them. I just use more DMM's

regards, Gertjan.

The connector is a Phoenix MST1.5 series with 5.0mm spacing. Since these are no longer produced, a MST2.5 would fit as well but but is designed for thicker cables. A suitable replacement is this one: https://www.farnell.com/datasheets/2327217.pdf

Also Camdenboss CTB9202/10 should fit as well: https://www.camdenboss.com/products/datasheet/CTB9202_series_D.pdf

I could not find a version with a "tongue".
