Description
The SWB-2816 Matrix Module for SwitchBlock, manufactured by National Instruments, is designed for signal transfer applications in electronic devices such as digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, and waveform generators. It features part numbers 781421-16 and 781420-16.
This module presents a configuration of 8×46 (8 rows x 46 columns) 1-wire matrix, requiring only 1 slot in a SwitchBlock carrier module for installation. Its operation modes are highly versatile, being independent and expandable up to 8 x 276 in a single carrier, and further expandable up to 8 x 1104 in a PXI chassis, catering to a wide range of testing and measurement needs.
The SWB-2816 boasts a bandwidth of over 8 MHz and can handle a maximum switching voltage of 100 VDC. Each channel of this matrix module can switch up to 0.25 A and carry up to 0.30 A, with a maximum switching power capacity of 3 W. These specifications make it a robust and reliable choice for handling complex signal routing tasks in high-performance testing environments.
