Description
The PXI-2590 is a high-performance PXI Switch with a part number of 185856D-01 (777987-01), falling under the category of PXI Switches. It boasts a substantial bandwidth of 1.3 GHz and is designed with a characteristic impedance of 50 Ω, ensuring reliable and accurate signal transfer.
This model utilizes electromechanical, non-latching relays with an operating and release time of 15 ms typical, which provides swift switching capabilities. The contact material is made of gold-clad silver, which enhances the reliability and longevity of the switches. With mechanical cycles rated at 5,000,000 and electrical cycles at 100,000, it offers durable performance for a wide range of applications.
The maximum switching voltage is 24 V, either channel-to-ground or channel-to-channel, and it can handle a maximum switching and carry current of 1 A. The maximum switching power is capped at 24 Watts, ensuring that it can handle a significant amount of power for its size. The DC path resistance starts at less than 0.1 Ω initially and increases to more than 1 Ω by the end of its life, indicating a gradual change in performance over time.
For trigger signals, the minimum pulse width is 70 ns for input and 1 µs for output, which allows for precise control over switching actions. It is equipped with 5 x SMB jacks for I/O connections, making it versatile for various configurations. The unit weighs 245 g and has dimensions of 3 cm x 10 cm x 16 cm, making it compact and easy to integrate into existing setups.
Compatible with NI-SWITCH driver software, it ensures seamless integration and easy programming. Designed to operate within a temperature range of 0 °C to 50 °C and to be stored in a temperature range that ensures its longevity and reliability across different environments.
