High-Density Switching Solutions

When testing today’s complex PCBs, equally complex switching systems are a must. But as space in a test system is often at a premium, switching density is critical to a compact design. If density is important to your applications, turn to Pickering for solutions.

Pickering offers a large variety of high-density switching solutionsFor the number of relays in a crosspoint matrix, no competitor can beat our well-known BRIC™ high-performance scalable PXI matrix and multiplexer family with over 9,000 0.5 A crosspoints in 12 PXI slots in our largest BRIC model - over 750 relays per slot, the highest density switching of any PXI vendor. This allows you to connect virtually any instrument to any test point in the most complex applications. Similarly, our scalable LXI matrices can house over 6,000 1A relays in a compact 2U enclosure. And signal integrity is assured thanks to automatic isolation relays in these switching systems.

Depending on the relays used in our high-density switching modules, we have solutions that can switch from micro-volts up to 9,000 volts and currents from nanoamps up to 40 amps. Use our Product Selector or contact our switching experts to select the right products for your application. 

With almost 1,200 matrix configurations available, over 700 general-purpose relays and multiplexers, and many other choices in RF/Microwave, optical and datacoms, we already have your solution in high-density switching.
