PXI Medium Density Switch Matrix Modules

Cost-effective switch modules for applications that require mid-range matrices in the PXI format.

  • Ruthenium Reed Versions for Maximum Signal Performance
  • Electro-mechanical Relay Versions for Current Handling up to 2 Amps
  • Single and Dual Matrix Configurations
  • Expansion Capability Across Multiple Cards
  • Fast Operating Speed <500μs for Reed Versions, <3ms for Electro-mechanical Versions
  • Kernel, VISA and IVI Support for PXI Environments and Kernel and IVI Support for LXI Environments

Pickering range of medium density switch matrix modules is a cost-effective solution for applications that require mid-range matrices in the PXI format. Selected modules 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

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