The 40-588 (PXI) and 42-588 (PXIe) are high density
2-pole matrix modules capable of switching up to 2 A at
220 VDC/250 VAC. The module is in 2-slot format and is
constructed using quality electromechanical relays for high
switching confidence. A smaller 16x8 2-pole version is also
available.
The matrix has been optimised for applications that require
high signal bandwidth. With careful matrix design and the
use of isolation switching, the 40/42-588 has a bandwidth
in the range of 35 MHz to 70 MHz depending upon path
selected.
High Reliability and Ease of Use
The 40/42-588 matrix is formed from two 16x8 matrix
daughter cards with their Y-connections linked via an
internal analog bus. This is designed to minimise the
cost and complexity of interconnecting cable assemblies.
Pickering can construct custom cables for all of our PXI
modules, please contact sales office for further assistance

The 40/42-588 is a 2-pole matrix with a size of 32x8 occupying 2 PXI Slots
Isolation Switching
The 40/42-588 daughter cards are fitted with isolation
switches between the matrix Y-bus and the interconnecting
analog bus. These ensure that only the required Y signal is
routed to the front panel connector helping to preserve the
bandwidth and crosstalk performance.
Supported by
eBIRST
This module is supported by our
eBIRST
test tools. These
tools simplify switching system fault-finding by quickly
testing the system and graphically identifying the faulty
relay. For more information go to:
