Overview of the physical aspects and interfacing cables of HIL606 devices

Front plate connectors

HIL606 devices feature four DIN41612 male type C connectors. These connectors are marked with a name (e.g. Analog I/O) and a pin number (1 and 32).

Figure 1. HIL I/O connector labeling

GPIO connector

HIL606 devices feature a 16-pin connector on the back of the device. Out of the 16 pins, 12 are used as General Purpose Input/Output and 4 are reserved for GND.

The mating part for this connector is Weidmuller B2CF 3.50/16/180 SN BK BX.

Interfacing via PCB-mount connectors

Interfacing via right-angle female DIN41612 connectors is the recommended way, due to robustness.

To do this method, simply make sure to place up to two right angle female DIN41612 connectors, spaced at 2000mil, pad-to-pad on your custom interface PCB design.

Interfacing via 96-pin cables

When direct connection between the HIL and the DUT is not possible, the recommended approach is to use 96 pin cables, purchased from Typhoon HIL, or manufactured from the following parts:

Table 1. HIL Interface Cable BOM (per cable)
Description	Manufacturer	Part number	Quantity
Flat cable	3M	3849-96	per desired length
DIN41612 female crimp	Yamaichi	FNS13-09600-00BF	2
(optional) DIN41612 connector backshell	ERNI	253001	2
