PXI Switching Modules Up Density Matrix

June 1, 2006
Setting a record for the highest density matrix in a single-slot 3U PXI module, each member of the 40-540/1/2 family supports a matrix with up to 528 crosspoint switches organized as 132x4 (40-540), 66x8 (40-541), and 33x16 (40-542). Each module

Setting a record for the highest density matrix in a single-slot 3U PXI module, each member of the 40-540/1/2 family supports a matrix with up to 528 crosspoint switches organized as 132x4 (40-540), 66x8 (40-541), and 33x16 (40-542). Each module switches signals up to 150V and 0.5A. They are available partially loaded to reduce initial purchase costs and they come pre-configured at the requested matrix size, eliminating the need to purchase additional terminal blocks. Instrument-grade ruthenium reed relays ensure reliable performance at all voltages and currents and a long service life. To minimize down time, lead-style relays provide an alternative to surface-mount components. Additionally, the modules gain support from the company's range of connector, cable, and breakout accessories. For more information, contact Bob Stasonis at PICKERING INTERFACES INC., Woburn, MA.
