–Pickering Interfaces is expanding
its range of PXI switch matrix solutions with the introduction of a new addition
to its 40-560/561/562 series BRIC range. The new BRIC2 matrices
occupy two slots of a PXI chassis and provide a more compact solution and cost
effective for matrix applications not requiring the higher crosspoint count of 4
or 8 slot BRIC’s. As is the case with their larger versions each BRIC2 is a
completely configured matrix that requires no terminal blocks for users to wire
together, an approach that maximises the bandwidth of the switches and reduces
user configuration costs.
BRIC2’s are available in
a variety of configurations with matrix sizes up to 276x4 in single pole
configurations. Y Bus configurations of x8, x16, x32 and a dual 8 way analog
bus are available and each is available using one of three different types of
reed relay (40-560, 40-561 and 40-562) that allows users to select a density
and rating specification that meets their requirement. Each version uses
instrument grade reed relays to ensure long service life and reliable operation
under hot and cold switching conditions. A full range of connector and cable
assembly accessories are available to simplify integration of the matrices into
test systems.
Data sheets, price and
delivery of BRIC2 modules are available on Pickering Interfaces web site www.pickeringtest.com About Pickering
