4. Functionality
The ADLINK RST-20P serves as an intermediary connection interface between field wiring and electronic modules. Each terminal block allows users to connect individual signal wires via screw clamps, which then interface with a 20-pin male or female header on a DAQ card or I/O board. The removable design enables quick disconnection for maintenance or module replacement without rewiring.

Typical Use Cases:
- Data acquisition systems requiring modular wiring interfaces
- Industrial automation panels connecting sensors, actuators, and controllers
- Laboratory test setups for signal routing and measurement
- Embedded systems where modular wiring simplifies assembly and service
- Control cabinets where frequent reconfiguration or testing is required

Compatibility:
- Designed for use with ADLINK DAQ and I/O modules featuring 20-pin connectors
- Compatible with standard 20-pin ribbon cable headers or terminal interface boards
- May be used with third-party equipment that adheres to the same pin spacing and electrical specifications
