Description
The PXI-2566 is a high-performance PXI Relay Module that is designed for versatile switching applications. This module is identified by its part numbers 778572-66 and 778573-66. It is a robust SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw), 16-Channel relay module that is capable of handling a wide range of switching tasks.
The maximum switching voltage for each channel is 150 V DC or 125 V AC, and the same voltage ratings apply when switching from a channel to ground, classified under CAT I conditions. This module is designed to handle a maximum switching power of 60 W or 62.5 VA for DC up to 60 Hz, and it can support a maximum switching current of 2 A for both DC and AC. The switch bandwidth is rated at 70 MHz, allowing for high-speed signal switching.
With a relay operate time of 2 ms (typical) and up to 4.4 ms (maximum), the PXI-2566 ensures swift transition between circuits, enhancing the efficiency of testing and simulation tasks. It can achieve a maximum cycle speed of 115 cycles per second, making it suitable for applications requiring rapid switching operations.
The form factor of the PXI-2566 is a 3U, one-slot PXI module, designed to fit seamlessly into PXI chassis, optimizing space and integration ease. The dimensions of the module are 8.5 x 0.8 x 5.1 inches, and it weighs approximately 250 g (9 oz). For connectivity, it features a male, 62-pin D-SUB I/O connector, ensuring reliable and secure connections to external equipment.
This module is an ideal choice for engineers and technicians requiring a high-quality, reliable switching solution for their PXI systems, offering flexibility, performance, and durability for a wide range of applications.
