Description
The part numbers for the PXI Switches in question are 778660-01 and 189291A-01. These switches fall under the category of PXI Switches and are specifically model PXI-2530. The PXI-2530 is described as a High-Density Multiplexer/Matrix Switch, designed to accommodate a variety of switching needs.
This model boasts three matrix and four multiplexer configurations, ensuring versatility for different applications. It features a 128-Channel count, providing ample connectivity options for complex setups. The switching speed of the PXI-2530 is impressive, capable of reaching up to 900 channels per second, facilitating rapid signal routing.
The multiplexer configurations available include 32 x 1 (4-wire), 64 x 1 (2-wire), and 128 x 1 (1-wire) among others, offering flexibility in connectivity. For matrix configurations, the device supports 4 x 16 (2-wire), 8 x 16 (1-wire), and 4 x 32 (1-wire), allowing for a wide range of signal routing possibilities.
When it comes to voltage handling capabilities, the PXI-2530 can manage a maximum switching voltage of 60 VDC or 30 VACrms, CAT I, both channel-to-channel and channel-to-ground. This ensures safe operation across various electrical environments. The maximum input current per terminal is rated at 0.4 A, and the device can handle a maximum switching input power of 10 W, highlighting its robust electrical capacity.
Reliability is a key aspect of the PXI-2530, with a relay life of 1 × 109 cycles, ensuring long-term performance. The relay operate/release time is quick, at 555 µS, enabling fast signal switching without significant delays. Channel-to-channel isolation is excellent, exceeding 60 dB over 200 kHz, which minimizes signal interference between channels.
The bandwidth capabilities of the PXI-2530 are also noteworthy, with >15 MHz for a 16 × 1 configuration and >3 MHz for a 128 × 1 configuration in a 50 Ω system, ensuring high fidelity signal transmission across a broad range of frequencies.
