Pickering Interfaces 16 A PXI power multiplexer and 16 A PXI power matrix switching solutions

Pickering Interfaces is expanding its range of 16 A PXI switching solutions.

The 16 A PXI power multiplexer (model 40-662) is available in seven configurations ranging from four-off 2:1 multiplexers to one-off 16:1 multiplexer. The 16 APXI power matrix (model 40-552) is available in four configurations with matrix sizes of 8x2 and 4x4 and the ability to expand the matrix size with the Y-axis loop-thru connections.

Both switching families feature the following: hot switching up to 16 A at 28 VDC; maximum DC hot switch rating of 300 VDC; hot switching AC signals up to 250 VAC at 16 A; ability to withstand 400 VDC for cold switching; high-quality, high-power electromechanical relays; 20-way GMCT connectors.

All PXI modules can carry the full 16 A current on each path simultaneously over the complete operating temperature range. Applications include electric vehicles, automotive ECU testing, AC mains switching, high-current power supplies, load switching and aerospace electric drive testing.

Pickering Interfaces provides a full range of supporting cable and connector solutions for the 16 A PXI switching family. The company can also manufacture cable assemblies to custom requirements.
