Description
The Part Number 778572-59 refers to a high-quality PXI Switch, specifically the model PXI-2559. This device is characterized by its capability to handle 2.5 GHz 75 Ohm Dual Terminated SPDT Relays, making it an ideal choice for applications that require high-frequency switching with a bandwidth of 2.5 GHz and a characteristic impedance of 75Ω.
It is designed to manage RF Power (Channel to Common) up to 10 W and Termination Power up to 1.5 W. The PXI-2559 utilizes Latching, Electromechanical Type of Relays, ensuring reliable operation over time. Connection to the device is facilitated through Gold Plated 6 Mini-75 Ohm SMB Jacks, providing excellent signal integrity and durability.
The relay operation time is impressively quick, with a maximum of 10.4 ms, ensuring efficient switching in time-sensitive applications. Durability is a key feature of the PXI-2559, boasting a Mechanical Relay Life of 1 × 106 Cycles and an Electrical Relay Life of 3 × 105 Cycles. This ensures long-term reliability and performance of the switch module.
It is designed to handle a Maximum Switching Voltage of 30 V and a Maximum Switching Current (Per Channel) of 0.5 A, along with a Maximum Carry Current (Per Channel) also of 0.5 A. The PXI-2559 is relatively lightweight at 218 grams and conforms to a 3U, One Slot, PXI Module form factor, with dimensions of 21.6 × 2.0 × 13.
