PXI Switches
-
The PXI general purpose switch modules deliver fast, reliable switching in a variety of configurations. Cycle power to products under test, control indicator and status lights or actuate external power relays and solenoids with independent, single-pole, double-throw (Form C) or single-pole, single-throw (Form A) switches in a single PXI module. Choose between the high-speed, long-life reed relays capable of switching up to 100Vrms with up to 1A and 25W of power, or the higher power armature relays capable of switching up to 250Vrms, with up to 2A and 60W of power. The general purpose line also includes a module that offers the performance you need to switch heavy loads with up to 300W (DC resistive load)/1250W (AC resistive load).
