Pickering Interfaces is further expanding its line of PXI switching modules with the introduction of another first, the high density 1Amp 2 Pole matrix in a single slot PXI module, 40–581.
The 40–581 can be used in any PXI chassis and is also fully supported by the company’s LXI Modular Switching Chassis. Each switching module supports a matrix with up to 264 crosspoint switches organized as a 33 x 8 matrix, and can switch signals up to 150 V, 1 Amp and 60 W.
The product has been designed to minimize the cost to the user of purchasing and maintaining their switching solution. Each module can be purchased as a partially loaded version to reduce the initial purchase cost. In addition, the modules come already configured at the requested size of matrix, so the user does not need to purchase additional terminal blocks and spend time configuring and testing the matrix.
The module is constructed using high reliability electro-mechanical relays that are particularly suited to more robust loads than lower power signal matrices. Maintenance down time is minimized through the use of leaded relays in preference to difficult to service surface mount devices.
