Overview

Model 40-538-021 is a very high density single 1-pole 55x8 matrix module.

Typical applications include signal routing in Functional ATE and data acquisition systems. These PXI matrix modules are constructed using high reliability Sputtered Ruthenium Reed Relays, offering 109 operations to give maximum switching confidence with long life and stable contact resistance. 

Larger matrices may be constructed bytructed by daisy chaining the common signals from multiple modules. However, for applications that require a very large matrix, Pickering’s BRIC™ modules are best suited.
