Description
The National Instruments SWB-2815 Matrix Module for SwitchBlock, with part numbers 781421-15 and 781420-15, is equipped with 0.3 A reed relays using Ruthenium contacts that ensure a long lifespan of up to 2.5 x 10^8 cycles. Capable of driving up to 61 relays simultaneously, this module can handle a maximum switching voltage of 100 VDC and a current of 0.25 A per channel, with up to 3 watts of switching power per channel or crosspoint.
It is designed for use with the NI-2800 PXI Matrix Module Carrier, requiring four PXI slots for installation, and supports a 4 x 86 matrix in a 1-wire configuration. The SWB-2815 is compatible with NI SwitchBlock systems and falls under Category I, handling signal voltages below 100 VDC or 70 Vrms.
