Description
The product with the part number 777987-01 falls under the category of PXI Switches and is identified by the model number PXI-2590. This particular model is a Radio Frequency (RF) Switch, designed to meet the demands of high-frequency switching applications. It boasts an impressive bandwidth of 1.3 GHz and features a 4-Channel configuration, making it versatile for various testing scenarios.
It is constructed with a characteristic impedance of 50 Ω, ensuring compatibility with standard RF systems. The relay type used in this switch is Electromechanical, Non-latching, which provides reliable performance with an operating/release time of 15 ms typical. The contacts are made from gold-clad silver, offering excellent conductivity and resistance to corrosion.
The mechanical life of the switch is rated at 5,000,000 cycles, and it has an electrical life of 100,000 cycles, indicating its durability and reliability over time. It supports a maximum switching voltage of 24 V (channel-to-ground/channel-to-channel) and both a maximum switching current and carry current of 1 A. The maximum switching power of the device is 24 Watts, which is suitable for a wide range of applications.
The DC path resistance is < 0.1 Ω initial, > 1 Ω at end of life, ensuring efficient electrical performance throughout its service life. For connectivity, it features 5 x SMB jacks which provide easy and secure connections. The switch weighs 245 g and has compact dimensions of 3 cm x 10 cm x 16 cm, allowing for easy integration into PXI systems.
It is supported by NI-SWITCH driver software, which facilitates easy setup and control of the switch through software interfaces. The operating temperature range of 0 °C to 50 °C ensures it can perform reliably in a wide range of environmental conditions. This switch is an
