Description
The PXI-2566 is a highly versatile and robust PXI Switch module, designed to cater to a wide range of switching needs within the technical and industrial domain. This module features part numbers 778572-66 and 778573-66, indicating its availability in multiple configurations to suit various applications.
At its core, the PXI-2566 operates as a 2 A, 16-Channel, SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) PXI Relay Module. This design makes it an ideal choice for users requiring high-quality, reliable switching capabilities. The module utilizes SPDT Form C armature relays, which are non-latching, ensuring a swift response to control commands without retaining their state after power loss.
When it comes to electrical specifications, the PXI-2566 stands out with its ability to handle a maximum switching voltage of 150 V DC and 125 V AC between channels. Similarly, it can manage the same maximum voltage levels when switching from channel to ground, thereby providing a consistent performance across all types of connections. It is also rated for CAT I safety standards, ensuring safe operation under specified conditions.
The device boasts a maximum switching power of 60 W or 62.5 VA (ranging from DC up to 60 Hz), and a maximum switching current of 2 A for both DC and AC. This makes the PXI-2566 highly capable of handling a broad spectrum of electrical loads.
The switch bandwidth of the module is an impressive 70 MHz, allowing for high-speed signal switching that can be critical in many automated testing and signal routing applications. Additionally, its relay operate time is typically 2 ms, with a maximum of 4.4 ms, and it can achieve a maximum cycle speed of 115 cycles/s, highlighting its efficiency and reliability in rapid switching scenarios.
