The ER-8 and ER-16 (ER-8/16) are general-purpose, electromechanical relay accessories from National Instruments with 8 or 16 independent single-pole double-throw (SPDT), also called Form C, nonlatching relays. The relays can switch up to 3 A at 30 VDC or 250 Vrms. Each relay has a Normally Closed (NC), Normally Open (NO), and Common (COM) terminal. You can use the ER-8/16 with National Instruments 6503 (DIO-24), 6533 (DIO-32HS), or 6508 (DIO-96) boards using a single cable. By using the SC-205x Series cable adapters, you can use the ER-8/16 with other National Instruments multifunction boards with digital outputs. A plastic box casing protects the user from exposure to potential electrical hazards.
