The 60-600 switch matrix from Pickering Interfaces can handle 10 A through any of its relays. That gives you up to 256 possible switch combinations. It can handle switching voltage up to 30 VDC or 250 VAC. You can order the 60-600 in any of five one-pole matrix configurations: single 16x16, single 32x8, single 64x4, dual 16x8, and dual 32x4. It’s housed in a full-rack-width 1U enclosure and you can connect to it through any of its eight-way high power D-type connectors.
The 60-552 is a 4096 relay crosspoint matrix with a 2A rating capable of switching voltages up to 220 VDC or 250 VAC. It’s available in 12 configurations from a single 16x64 matrix to a dual 32x64 matrix. It uses 78-way D-type connectors for you to connect your devices and test equipment.
Software support for both models includes IVI and direct I/O driver. Both models are LXI Class-C compliant.
