HP E1361A VXI 4x4 Relay Matrix

Product Summary

The HP E1361A relay matrix is a B-size, 1-slot, register-based VXI module that consists of 16 latching relays arranged as a 4x4 matrix. The 4x4 matrix can be reconfigured as a dual 2x4 matrix by removing factory-installed jumpers. Capable of switching voltages up to 250 Vdc and 354 Vpk, the HP E1361A relay matrix switch has the highest voltage rating of any HP matrix module. All relays remain in their programmed state during power-down and are reset at power-on. After reset, all relays are open. The HP E1361A can be reconfigured as an 8:1, 2-wire multiplexer. This product is adaptable to C-size using the HP E1403B adapter.

Product Features

• Multiple inputs connect to multiple outputs
• Flexible dual 2x4 or single 4x4 2-wire matrix
• 250 V, 1 Adc or ac signal switching, latching relays
• Modules connect for larger matrixes
• Each crosspoint switches 2-wire, Hi and Lo
• VXIplug&play frameworks are supported per the Instrument Drivers information listed below.

Note: Configuration software that allows you to easily select compatible interfaces, controller platforms, and VXI test system components is available on CD ROM. Order the "Test System and VXI Products Catalog and CD ROM" from the Test & Measurement Catalogs available on this web site.
