PXI switch modules
Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 6/1/2005
Rated for 5 A and 12 A, respectively, the NI PXI-2564 and NI PXI-2585/86 series of 3U PXI modules are capable of switching high-power signals in military, aerospace, and automotive applications. The PXI-2585 is configured as a 10x1 multiplexer, while the PXI-2586 offers 10 independent SPST (Form A) relays. Both of the 12-A switch modules have a voltage rating of up to 300 VDC/300 VAC. In AC applications, the modules switch up to 3000 VA. In DC applications, the modules handle power levels up to 300 W. For general-purpose switching tasks, the 5-A PXI-2564 supplies 16 independent SPST (Form A) relays, low contact resistance of less than 100 milliohms, and isolation voltage of up to 150 V.
