Description
The NI PXI-2586 is identified by its part number 191822C-01, and it stands as a pivotal model within the PXI Switches category. This device is designed to offer robust solutions for applications requiring 10 Channel High-Current SPST configurations. It is specifically engineered for general-purpose applications, featuring a 12 A, 10-Channel SPST PXI Relay Module that is versatile for various operational needs.
An alternate part number for this model is 778572-86, providing additional reference for procurement or compatibility considerations. The PXI-2586 boasts a maximum switching voltage of 300 V both channel-to-channel and channel-to-ground, adhering to CAT II standards. This ensures reliable operation across a broad range of high-voltage applications. The module can carry and switch a maximum current of 12 A per channel or common, making it suitable for high-current tasks.
Designed to perform optimally within an operating temperature of ≤ 45 °C, it guarantees stability in various environmental conditions. The relay contact material is made of silver-nickel, chosen for its durability and reliability over the mechanical relay life of 1 x 107 cycles. This highlights the device’s longevity and performance consistency over time.
The PXI-2586 has a manageable weight of 400 g (14 oz) and dimensions of 21.6 x 2.0 x 13.0 cm (WxHxD), making it a compact yet powerful component within any PXI system. It requires a minimum trigger pulse width of 150 ns, with the capability to disable digital filtering for even faster response times, and it maintains channel-to-channel crosstalk at a minimal ≤ -85 dB at the 10 kHz frequency band, ensuring signal integrity and minimal interference between channels.
