LXI switches cover high current or high density

Pickering Interfaces recently added two LXI switch matrixes to its product offerings. The 60-600 is a 256-relay crosspoint matrix with a 10-A rating capable of switching voltages 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 is 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 cross-point matrix with a 2-A rating capable of switching voltages up to 220 VDC or 250 VAC. It is 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 drivers. Both models are LXI Class-C compliant.
