Description
The National Instruments PXIe-2526 is a high-performance Multiplexer Switch Module designed for use in PXI Switches applications. With part numbers 155043A-01L and 780587-26, this module is ideal for a wide range of signal routing needs.
The PXIe-2526 supports various topologies, including 1-wire 158 x 1 and 2-wire 79 x 1, providing flexibility in connecting different test points or signals to a common bus. It utilizes Electromechanical Relays to ensure reliable switching with an Initial DC Path Resistance of Less than 0.5 Ohms, which increases to Greater than or equal to 1.5 Ohms by the end of the relay’s life.
One of the key features of this module is its low Thermal EMF, which is Less than 10 micro-volts, minimizing any potential signal interference. The PXIe-2526 offers a bandwidth of up to 10 MHz at -3 dB, suitable for a variety of signal types. Its Typical Relay Operation Time is remarkably fast at just 1 millisecond, enabling quick switching between channels.
The module can drive up to 82 relays simultaneously, making it highly efficient for complex switching arrangements. Weighing in at 230 grams, it is a lightweight addition to any PXI system. Furthermore, it operates within a temperature range of 0 to 55 degrees Celsius, ensuring reliable performance under various environmental conditions.
