Description
The Part Number for the device is 153696C-01L, which is also referenced as 778572-20. This part belongs to the Category of PXI Switches and specifically falls under the Model PXI-2520.
The Description of the PXI-2520 is an NI PXI-2520 80 Channel SPST Relay Module. It employs Relay Type technology that is Single-Pole Single-Throw (SPST), A-Frame Type, which is well-known for its reliability and efficiency in circuit connectivity.
One of the notable features of this model is its Software Programmability, which allows for Yes, giving users the flexibility to control and automate their testing processes efficiently. Additionally, the model supports Relay Account Tracking, ensuring users can monitor and manage the device’s operation effectively.
When it comes to Voltage/Current Capacity, the PXI-2520 is versatile and Suitable for a variety of automated test equipment (ATE), control of heaters, lights, and fans. It is also Inductive Load Switching Capable, though it requires additional protection against high voltage transients to ensure safety and longevity of the device.
The DC Path Resistance is designed to Remain low throughout the life of the relay; however, it increases rapidly at end of life, signaling when a replacement is necessary. The Cycle Power Process for the PXI-2520 is stringent and Requires complete power removal and discharge, not just a reboot, ensuring a proper reset and functionality check.
Regarding Memory Retention, it’s important to note that the Contents are lost when power is removed, which implies that critical data should be backed up externally. Lastly, for those seeking further guidance or troubleshooting, the Manual Availability is provided online at
