HP E1469A VXI 4x16 Relay Matrix

Product Summary

The HP E1469A matrix is a C-size, 1-slot, register-based VXI module. This module consists of a 64-channel 2-wire relay component card (same component card as the HP E1460A). A terminal block, which provides 4x16 matrix topology, is included.

The HP E1469A matrix switches both high and low on each crosspoint. Multiple modules can easily be interconnected with the HP E1468-80002 daisy-chain cable. The HP E1468-80002 daisy-chain cable allows quick connect and disconnect of one module from another and is easily attached to expansion connectors on the HP E1469A terminal blocks. For applications requiring more than 64 crosspoints, the newer HP E1465/66/67A relay matrixes are recommended unless your application requires the high voltage/power capability and superior crosstalk performance of the HP E1469A matrix.

Product Features

• Connect multiple inputs to multiple outputs
• 4x16 two-wire switching with a guard or shield
• Expand rows/columns to make larger matrixes
• Latching relays
• Includes HP QUIC easy-to-use terminal block Description
• 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.
