Description
The SWB-2815 is a state-of-the-art PXI Switch designed for versatile and efficient switching solutions, boasting part numbers 781421-15 and 781420-15. As a Matrix Module for SwitchBlock, it integrates seamlessly into complex test and measurement setups, providing reliable and scalable options for engineers and technicians.
This module operates at a maximum switching voltage of 100 VDC, with a maximum switching current of 0.25 A per channel, and can handle a maximum switching power of 3 Watts per channel/crosspoint. The heart of the SWB-2815’s switching capability lies in its 0.3 A Reed Relays, equipped with durable Ruthenium contacts, ensuring an impressive relay lifespan of approximately 2.5 x 10^8 cycles.
Designed for high-density configurations, it can drive up to 61 simultaneous relays, making it ideal for applications requiring extensive switch operations. It necessitates a NI-2800 carrier device for operation and occupies 4 PXI slots within a chassis. The SWB-2815’s matrix configuration is notably flexible, starting at 4 x 86, 1-wire, and can be expanded by adding additional modules to meet growing or changing system requirements.
The device adheres to Category I standards, capable of handling signal voltages up to 100 VDC or 70 Vrms, and is designed to withstand surge voltages of up to 500 V, offering robust protection against unexpected voltage spikes. This module represents a pinnacle of design and functionality for advanced switching needs in testing and measurement applications.
