Description
The NI 2834A is characterized by its part number 198605A-01L and is known by its model code SWB-2834. This product is a specialized 2 A 2-Wire EMR Matrix designed for use with NI SwitchBlock systems, offering enhanced connectivity and control in complex configurations. Manufactured by National Instruments, a leader in the field, the NI 2834A stands out for its reliability and performance.
For those seeking alternatives, the part numbers 781420-34 and 781421-34 are provided as equivalent options, ensuring flexibility in sourcing components. The core of the NI 2834A’s functionality lies in its use of Latching Electromechanical Relays, chosen for their durability and efficiency. These relays boast an impressive expected life of 1×108 cycles at no load, highlighting the product’s longevity and reliability in demanding applications.
The device requires 2 slots in SwitchBlock systems, making it a compact yet powerful solution for a variety of testing and measurement setups. Its matrix size is initially configured as 8×34, but it offers remarkable scalability, being expandable up to 8×102 in a single carrier and further up to 8×408 in a PXI chassis, accommodating a broad range of complex configurations.
With a 10 MHz bandwidth, the NI 2834A provides ample capacity for a wide range of signals, ensuring clear and accurate measurements. It supports a maximum switching current of 2 A and a carry current also capped at 2 A, providing a balance between power handling and delicate control. The maximum switching voltage is rated at 100 V between row and column, with a maximum switching power of 60 W per channel/cross point, indicating its ability to handle significant power levels for its size.
