Pickering launches 256-crosspoint 2-pole PXI switching matrices

Pickering Interfaces of Clacton-on-Sea has launched a range of high-density, two-pole PXI switching matrices. Series 40-580 (32×8) and 40-583(64×4) matrices are supported by both of Pickering’s relay test tools (BIRST and eBIRST), delivering diagnostics for relays that are approaching end-of-life or have been damaged by over-specification hot-switching events. Featuring 256 2-pole crosspoints, these matrices use ...
