Pickering Interfaces is expanding its range of LXI compliant switching products: The 60–310 is a high voltage 300 x 2 two-pole switching matrix capable of hot switching 500 V DC signals and cold switching 1000 V DC signals. It is contained within a compact 2 U full rack width enclosure. The matrix is ideal for performing insulation tests on cable harnesses and PCBs, and for testing for breakdown voltages of semiconductor devices and relays. The design uses Rhodium plated reed relays that are optimized for high voltage switching applications requiring a long service life.
The 60–510 is a low thermal EMF 56 x 33 matrix capable of switching 150 V DC signals with carry current up to 1 A. It is contained within a compact 2 U full rack width enclosure. The matrix uses instrument grade Ruthenium sputtered relays to ensure a very long service life with a good low level switching performance and ultra stable contact resistance stability, while typically providing less than 2.5 m volts of thermal EMF. Both products are supplied with IVI, SOAP and Direct I/O drivers and soft front panels that allow them to be controlled through any W3C compliant web browser. David Owen, Business Development Manager for Pickering Interfaces, says, “LXI is a rapidly growing part of our business. It has gone from nothing to being a significant proportion of revenue in less than 18 months and sales have been particularly strong in Europe.
