Description
The part number 778572-85 refers to a PXI Switch belonging to the category of PXI Switches. Specifically, it is the model PXI-2585, which is described as a 10 Channel High-Current MUX. This device is a Multiplexer Switch Module designed to facilitate efficient switching operations.
It features a 10×1 Multiplexer channel configuration, capable of handling a maximum switching current of up to 12 A. The device is designed to support a maximum switching voltage of 300 V channel-to-channel and 300 V (Measurement Category II) channel-to-ground, ensuring versatility in various electrical setups.
Regarding power capabilities, it can manage a maximum switching power (AC) of 3 kVA (up to 60 Hz) per channel, demonstrating its capacity to handle significant power loads. The module utilizes electromechanical single-side stable relays with relay contact material made from silver-nickel, chosen for its durability and reliability in electrical applications.
The actuation time of the relays is a maximum of 15.4 milliseconds, ensuring swift switching operations. It boasts a relay life (mechanical) of 1 × 107 cycles, and an electrical relay life of 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, indicating a robust lifespan for both mechanical and electrical operations.
The module features an I/O Connector of the Positronic GMCT series plug (20-positions), ensuring easy and secure
