Description
The Part Number 778572-85 refers to a high-performance PXI Switch known as the PXI-2585. This device is categorized as a 10 Channel High-Current MUX, designed to facilitate efficient and reliable switching solutions in various applications. The PXI-2585 is capable of handling a maximum switching voltage of 300 V channel-to-channel, as well as 300 V (Measurement Category II) channel-to-ground, making it suitable for a wide range of electrical tasks.
When it comes to power, this switch can manage a maximum switching power of 3 kVA (up to 60 Hz) per channel, with a current rating of 12 A. This ensures the device can handle high-current applications with ease. It is configured as a 10×1 multiplexer, providing flexibility in connecting multiple input or output signals to a single measurement or control point.
The PXI-2585 utilizes Electromechanical single-side stable relays, with relay contacts made from silver-nickel. This choice of materials and relay type contributes to the switch’s durability and reliability over time. The actuation time of the switch is remarkably fast, taking a maximum of 15.4 milliseconds to actuate, which is essential for applications requiring quick switching.
Regarding longevity, the PXI-2585 boasts an impressive life expectancy. Mechanically, it can endure 1 × 107 cycles, while electrically, it can withstand 1 × 105 cycles at 30 V DC, 10 A DC resistive load, and 3 × 104 cycles at 30 V DC, 12 A DC resistive load. This reflects the switch’s ability to perform reliably over a considerable period.
Connectivity is facilitated via a Positronic GMCT series plug, 20-positions, ensuring secure
