Pickering Interfaces is expanding its range of PXI power matrices with the introduction of the 40-549 and 40-551.
The 40-549 is a 5A matrix available in a variety of 32 and 64 crosspoint configurations with Y axis sizes of x4 and x8. Maximum switching voltage is 110VDC or 250VAC.
The 40-551 is a 10A matrix configured as an 8x4 matrix that switches voltages up to 125VDC and 250VAC and features an optional loop thru facility that simplifies user cabling when the matrix size is expanded through the use of additional modules. The 40-551 is also available in 8x2 and 4x4 configurations.
Both the 40-549 and 40-551 use high quality electromechanical relays (EMR’s) which offer long service life
US list prices range from $1214 to $1619 for the 40-549 and $1180 to $1785 for the 40-551.
