High-Density PXI Switch Matrix Modules

A cost-effective solution for applications that require high-density matrices in the PXI format.

  • Ruthenium Reed, Electro-Mechanical and Solid State Versions Available
  • Single and Dual Matrix Configurations
  • Partially Populated Configurations Available
  • Expansion Capability Across Multiple Cards
  • Kernel, VISA and IVI Support for PXI Environments and Kernel and IVI Support for LXI Environments 

Designed for applications that require high-density, including semiconductor test. Pickering's range of high-density switch matrix modules is a cost-effective solution for applications that require high-density matrices in the PXI format. The ability to expand to larger matrices is possible by connecting together multiple modules. Reed relay versions use high-quality sputtered ruthenium reeds that exhibit excellent contact performance under low and medium-level switching conditions. Solid-state relay versions are available for high speed and long life, and electro-mechanical versions are available for current handling of up to 2 Amps.

Select models are supported by our Diagnostic Test Tools, Built-In-Relay-Self-Test (BIRST) and eBIRST Switching System Test Tools; these tools provide a quick and simple way of finding relay failures within LXI, PCI and PXI switch systems.

We also offer mating cables and connectors for these modules to ensure speedy and successful system integration.

Switch Type

EMR - Electro-Mechanical Relay, cost-effective, medium power switching. Reed - reed relays, excellent low-level switching, fast, long life. Solid-State - very fast, indefinite life, high power switching, but high leakage and insertion loss.

Max I (A)

Maximum continuous current each switch can carry.

Max V DC

The maximum voltage that may be applied to each switch.

Poles

The number of common terminals simultaneously switched by a single operation. … more

Banks

The number of independent switch topologies on a single module.

X Size

The number of matrix columns, used with Y Size to specify the size of a cross-point matrix.

Y Size
