The PXI‑2564 is a general-purpose switch module that features independent single‑pole single‑throw (SPST) Form A armature relays. Each relay is nonlatching with very low on-resistance and low thermal offsets. The PXI‑2564 is fully software programmable. With an efficient coupling of voltage/current capability and relay density, this switch module is ideal for switching medium‑ to high‑power signals and loads in military, automotive, or automated test applications.
