Description
The SWB-2816 is part of the PXI Switches category and carries part numbers 781421-16 and 781420-16. This model is an NI 2816A 8×46, 0.3 A Reed Matrix designed specifically for NI SwitchBlock. It features an 8 rows x 46 columns 1-wire matrix configuration. This matrix requires only 1 slot in a SwitchBlock carrier module for installation.
The operating modes of the SWB-2816 include a single relay card and an expandable module. The expandable module can be scaled up to 8×276 in a single carrier and up to 8×1104 in a PXI chassis, making it extremely versatile for various applications. It is primarily used for signal transfer in electronic devices such as digital multimeters and oscilloscopes.
One of the key benefits of the SWB-2816 is its customizability. It can be combined with other SWB-2816 modules to create a multi-card assembly, allowing for flexible adaptation to specific project needs. The bandwidth of this model is typically greater than 8 MHz, providing ample data throughput for many applications.
In terms of electrical characteristics, the SWB-2816 can handle up to 100 VDC switching voltage and offers a switching current per channel of 0.25 A. Moreover, it supports a carry current per channel of 0.30 A and has a maximum switching power of 3 W. These specifications make the SWB-2816 a powerful and adaptable component for any PXI SwitchBlock configuration.
