PXI Cards Provide Low-Cost Switching

The 40-xxx PXI matrix and multiplexing cards provide electromechanical relays with gold-plated contacts and are designed for switching medium voltage/power levels in test applications where either price is very sensitive or reed relays have insufficient ratings. For matrixing, the 40-515 thru 40-519 cards handle 2A, 250 Vac/220 Vdc switching chores and offer a range of dual pole configurations. These include dual 8x4, single 8x8, single 16x4, single 16x8, and single 32x4. The 40-675 multiplexer card handles 1A, 100 Vac/Vdc switching applications and is available in six configurations: 198-channel/1-pole, 99-channel/2-pole, 49-channel/4-pole, 24-channel/8-pole, 10-channel/16-pole, and 5-channel/32-pole. A wide range of mating cables and connectors are available for all of the above cards. PICKERING INTERFACES INC., Grants Pass, OR. (541) 471-0700.
