Cirris Systems' "Frame Stands" Accessories

For a number of years Cirris has offered the "Frame Stand" accessories pictured below. This concept was developed to allow customers to interface non-standard connectors to Cirris testers. Circular Mil.Spec., automotive and many other types of connectors can uses this approach effectively. The pictures below illustrate the modular nature of this concept. By unplugging the connecting ribbon cable it is a simple matter to remove one configured PCB with connector attached and replace it with a new one.

The photo below reveals the underside of the PCB and illustrates how the connector is mounted then pigtailed to a mating connector which is then mated to a standard adapter. This approach offers a simple and quick interface for "difficult" connector types. Cirris offers a variety of PCBs with various through-hole patterns. The table displays a thumbnail photo of each type available along with the specifications of each board. Click on the thumbnails for a larger view of that board.

APCB-10 AW 17-18430 The grid pattern of holes in the center section of the board is .1" center to center. The two "dual row" hole patterns on either edge of the board are .1" also and are designed to take a dual row header connector so you can ribbon cable down to a standard AHED-64 adapter installed in the tester below. (See photos above for example of how that works.)



All PCB Boards measure 3" x 6 5/8".

APCB-20 AW 17-18545 The grid pattern of holes on the left side of the board is .2" center to center. The two "dual row" hole patterns on the right edge of the board are .1" and are designed to take a dual row header connector so you can ribbon cable down to a standard AHED-64 adapter.

APCB-2M AW 17-18598 The grid pattern of holes in the center of the board are 2MM center to center. The four "dual row" hole patterns on both edges of the board are .1" and are designed to take a dual row header connector so you can ribbon cable down to a standard AHED-64 adapter. (Because there are no traces on the board. You must "hardwire" from the connector to the edge of the board.)

APCB-05 AW 17-18581 The hole grid pattern in the center section of the board is .050" center to center. The two "dual row" hole patterns on either edge of the board are .1" and are designed to take a dual row header connector so you can ribbon cable down to a standard AHED-64 adapter installed in the tester below. (See photos above to see how that works.)

APCB-50 AW 17-18543 The hole grid pattern in the center section of the board is .050" (SCSI II pattern) The "dual row" column hole patterns on the outside edges of the board are .1" and are designed to take a dual row header connector. There are traces are you can see from the center SCSI pattern to the outside dual row patterns. This allows you to easily connector up to the connector soldered on to the center of the board.

APCB-SH AW 17-18542 The hole pattern in the center of the board is: .1" center to center. The single row of holes on the left edge of the board has spacing of .156" center to center. There are no traces from the two hole patterns mentioned to the "dual row" patterns on the right edge of the board.

APCB-AH AW 17-18561 The hole pattern in the center of the board is .050" x .1" dual row.
As you can see there are traces which run to both "dual row" footprints on the outsides of the board. These "dual row" hole patterns are .1" center to center.

APCB-25 AW 17-18548 Hole pattern on left is .25" grid. There are no traces to the right side "dual row" footprints. The dual row hole pattern is .1" center to center.
