NeuroNexus Probe Adapters

The connector-pair adapter is the remap: one product in 78 pairings, chosen on its product page by input connector (the package side) and output connector (the headstage or system side). Package-side connectors are Omnetics 16, 32 and 64, A16 (a DIP-16 Mill-Max connector), A32 (Samtec 40), A64 (two Samtec 40), ZIF 16, 32 and 64 (Hirose, for TDT ZIF-Clip), CQ4 and Q4 edge, QIB and 8-pin Omnetics; system-side connectors include Omnetics, the A-series and ZIF connectors, Mill-Max, Intan RHD evaluation, Blackrock Cerebus, A-M Systems, BrainAmp, Plexon and SmartLink, with 2×, 4×, breakout, female–female and MRI-conditional builds. An adapter name reads input to output: Omnetics 32 → Omnetics 16 takes an Omnetics 32 package and presents an Omnetics 16. The High-Density Matrix adapter is the breakout: it takes a micro-HDMI or Matrix input and fans it to four or eight Omnetics 32, to Cerebus, to a 128-channel datalogger or to a SmartHS headstage. Two bare interface boards, the PCB_CM16 (16 channels, Omnetics 16 out) and the S256 PCB (256 channels), are sold on request rather than from the catalog.

A remap adapter changes which pin corresponds to which channel, so the site-to-channel map on the DAQ side of the adapter differs from the map on the package drawing, and nothing in the physical fit shows it. Confirm the map through the adapter against a known signal before the first recording and record it in the session's channel configuration. Within the X-Series platform the X-Series adapters join EIBs, X3 and X6 connectors and the X-Series headstage, and the Kontex system adapter brings a Neuropixels probe into XDAQ. Which NeuroNexus headstage mates each package connector without an adapter is under probe package.
