Description
The Part Number 778572-31 refers to a high-quality PXI Switch known as the PXI-2531. This product stands out due to its impressive capabilities and specifications tailored for demanding applications.
The PXI-2531 is a PXI Matrix Switch Module that boasts a considerable 512-crosspoint configuration. It utilizes Reed Relay technology to ensure reliable switching. The module is designed to handle up to .5 A of current and can operate at voltages up to 60 V. This makes it versatile for a wide range of applications.
Regarding its Configuration Options, the device offers flexibility with multiple configurations available: a 1-wire dual 8 × 32 matrix, a 1-wire 8 × 64 matrix, and a 1-wire 4 × 128 matrix. This adaptability allows users to select the configuration that best suits their specific needs.
The PXI-2531 can support a Switching/Carry Current of 0.5 A and has a Maximum Switching Power of 10 W per channel. Its Bandwidth is impressive as well, being ≥20 MHz with 50 Ω termination, ensuring that the module can handle high-frequency signals without significant loss.
One of the critical performance metrics, the Channel-to-Channel Crosstalk, is exceptionally low at <-70 dB (typical, 10 kHz to 100 kHz), signifying that the module maintains signal integrity across channels effectively.
The module is equipped with 2 x 150 position Samtec ERM8 Series I/O Connectors, providing robust and reliable connections. Its Mechanical Relay Life is rated at 1 x 109 cycles, indicating a long service life. The Relay Actuating/Release Time is a swift 0.25 ms, allowing for rapid switching operations.
