778572-12

Description

The NI PXI-2512 is a high-performance, 7-Channel 10A Fault Insertion Unit (FIU) Switch Module, designated with the part number 778572-12. This module falls under the category of PXI Switches and is designed to facilitate robust and precise testing capabilities in automated test equipment environments.

The PXI-2512 is capable of handling a maximum switching current of 10 A, with the ability to endure pulse currents up to 50 A for durations as brief as 600 μs. This module operates safely within a maximum switching voltage range of 50 VDC and 30 V AC_rms, ensuring versatility in testing various electrical components and systems.

An important safety feature of the PXI-2512 is its overcurrent detection, which is typically set to 10.5 A. This function, coupled with a 20 ms delay in overcurrent detection, protects the module and connected devices from potential damage due to current overloads.

Connectivity is facilitated through two DSUB, 8 position male front panel connectors. The module also includes one DB8F-40A Cable for 8-pin DSUB and one DB8F-40A Cable for bare wire connections, ensuring easy and reliable connections to the test setup.

Despite its powerful capabilities, the PXI-2512 maintains an efficient power consumption profile, requiring just 1.0 Watts at 3.3 V and 13.0 W at 5 Volts. Its physical dimensions accommodate a 3U, two-slot PXI module footprint, making it a compact yet powerful addition to any PXI-based test system.
