Pickering Interfaces offers high-density matrices supporting hot-switch capability
Pickering Interfaces
45-541 and 45-542 high-density matrices
Pickering Interfaces has extended its range of 6U PXI matrices with the 45-541 and 45-542 high-density matrices, which are designed to provide users a choice of pin-compatible switching solutions.
Occupying one slot of a 6U PXI chassis, the 45-541 is a reed relay matrix that provides a 132 x 8 matrix supporting 0.5A switching and up to 10W hot switch capacity.
The module features 50-way D Type connectors and BIRST (built-in relay self-test) capability that allows functional checks on all the reed relays to be conducted without the use of supporting test equipment.
The 45-542 is an electro-mechanical relay (EMR)-based matrix also occupying one slot of a 6U PXI chassis, supporting a 132x8 matrix with 1A and 60W switching capacity.
