High-Power PXI Switch Matrix Modules
- Electro-mechanical relays with current ratings of 5 Amp and 10 Amp and switching up to 250VAC
- Solid state relays with current ratings of 10 Amp and 40 Amp and switching up to 200VDC/AC
- Single and dual matrix configurations
- 1 or 2 pole switching configurations
- Expansion capability across multiple cards
- Drivers Supplied for Windows and Linux, Plus Support for Real-time Systems
- Select modules are supported by our eBIRST Switching System Test Tools, these tools provide a quick and simple way of finding relay failures within LXI, PCI and PXI switch systems.
These high-power PXI switch matrix modules provide higher current and power ratings than the
high-density switch versions. These
modules are designed for the switching of AC or DC loads or for controlling large relay or solenoid systems. The solid
state relay matrices occupy two PXI slots and are suitable for automotive and
aerospacetest applications.

Each high power switch uses connectors supported by our cable and connector accessories and relays have been carefully selected to ensure long service life under demanding load conditions. We stand behind our products with a three-year warranty.
Below you will find tables to help you choose which version is appropriate for your application:
