Description
The Part Number 778572-99 refers to a specific model of PXI Switches, designated as the PXI-2599. This model is characterized by its type, a Dual SPDT, 26.5 GHz, 50 Ω PXI RF Relay Module, designed to accommodate a wide range of high-frequency switching needs.
The PXI-2599 boasts a Maximum Carry Current (Per Channel) of 1.73 Arms, and it can handle a Maximum RF Carry Power of 150 W when connected to a 50 Ω load. It is engineered to operate efficiently with a Minimum Switch Load of -35 dBm. In terms of performance, the unit exhibits an Insertion Loss of less than 0.7 dB and maintains a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of less than 1.7. Furthermore, its Open Channel Isolation exceeds 55 dB, ensuring minimal signal interference.
When operating at frequencies up to 26.5 GHz, the PXI-2599 can carry RF power up to 25 W. It falls under Measurement Category I, with signal voltages safely handled up to ≤ 100 V and a Surge Voltage Tolerance of up to 500 V. For optimal performance, a Recommended Cycle Speed of 5 channels/s is advised.
The unit’s contacts are made from Beryllium copper, gold-plated material, ensuring durability and a high-quality connection. Its Expected Mechanical Relay Life is impressive, with up to 1 × 107 cycles. Weighing in at 260 g (9.2 oz.), its dimensions are 21.6 cm × 2.0 cm × 13
