HP E1364A VXI 16-Channel Form C Switch

Product Summary

The HP E1364A 16-channel Form C Switch is a B-size, 1-slot, register-based VXI module. It uses latching armature relays, and is capable of carrying 1 Amp of current on a single channel. This versatile general-purpose switch is suitable for switching, scanning, control, or digital output applications.

This module contains positions for jumpers or resistors, allowing each channel to optionally connect to internal +5 V or +12 V supplies for digital output applications. Current on these supplies should not exceed 1 A and 0.5 A, respectively, per switch. The latching relays ensure all switches will remain in the same position when power is removed. A terminal block is also included.

Product Features

• High DC isolation for switching/measurement integrity
• Digital output of 5V/12V for actuating external devices
• 250 V, 1 Adc or ac signal latching relays
• Normally closed/open, and common terminals (SPDT)
• Simultaneous channel switching
• 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.
