Description
The product with the Part Number 778572-86 is categorized under PXI Switches. Specifically, it is the PXI-2586 model, which is a General Purpose, 12 A, 10-Channel SPST PXI Relay Module. This module exhibits a versatile topology, accommodating 10-SPST and 5-DPST configurations.
It is designed to handle a Maximum Switching Voltage of up to 300 V (channel-to-channel) and the same voltage rating applies to Channel-to-Ground situations, classified under CAT II. The module can comfortably carry or switch a current of 12 A per channel or common, making it suitable for a broad range of applications requiring high power handling.
For optimal performance, the operating temperature is recommended to be ≤ 45 °C. The relay contacts are made from Silver-Nickel, ensuring reliable and durable performance. The unit weighs approximately 400 g (14 oz) and has dimensions of 21.6 x 2.0 x 13.0 cm, making it compact and easy to integrate into various setups.
The mechanical relay life is rated at 1 x 107 cycles, indicating a long-lasting and reliable performance. The module requires a minimum trigger pulse width of 150 ns, with an option to disable digital filtering for pulse widths < 150 ns. It supports trigger lines from 0–7, providing flexibility in control. Additionally, the channel-to-channel crosstalk is very low, at ≤ -85 dB in a 10 kHz frequency band, ensuring minimal interference between channels.
