Description
The 778572-85 is a high-performance PXI Switch belonging to the model series PXI-2585. This device is specifically designed as a Multiplexer Switch Module, featuring a 10×1 multiplexer configuration. It allows for efficient switching with a maximum voltage of 300 V channel-to-channel, and the same 300 V channel-to-ground, adhering to Measurement Category II standards.
The module supports a maximum switching power of 3 kVA per channel, applicable up to 60 Hz. Utilizing Electromechanical single-side stable relays, made from durable Silver-nickel contact material, it ensures reliable operation. The actuation time is remarkably quick, taking a maximum of 15.4 milliseconds to switch.
Designed for longevity, the device boasts a mechanical life expectancy of 1 × 107 cycles. When it comes to electrical durability, it can withstand 1 × 105 cycles at 30 V DC with a 10 A DC resistive load, and 3 × 104 cycles at 30 V DC with a 12 A DC resistive load.
Integration and connectivity are facilitated through a Positronic GMCT series plug (20-positions), ensuring seamless compatibility with various systems. The one slot, 3 U PXI module form factor allows for efficient use of space within PXI chassis. With dimensions of 21.6 cm × 2.0 cm × 13.0 cm, it is compact yet robust.
It is important to note that accessories for the PXI-2585, such as the 1M/2M switch cable, custom cable kit, and front connector mating pins, are sold separately. These accessories enhance the module’s functionality and facilitate custom configurations tailored to specific testing requirements.
