PXI Single 24x8 Matrix, 2 Pole Switching

Overview

Typical applications for this high density matrix include signal routing in Functional ATE and data acquisition systems. These PXI matrix cards are constructed using high reliability ruthenium electro-plated reed relays, offering >10e8 operations to give maximum switching confidence with long life and stable contact resistance. 

Larger matrices may be constructed by Daisy Chaining the common signals from multiple PXI modules. For example, 7 PXI modules will form a 168x8 Matrix, a total of 1344 crosspoints in a 7-slot PXI Chassis.  

All 40-521 series modules are fitted with reed relays (ruthenium sputtered type), these offer very long life with good low level switching performance and excellent contact resistance stability. Spare Reed Relays are built onto the circuit board to facilitate easy maintenance with minimum downtime.
