Data Sheet  |   Configure System popup

The National Instruments PXI-2570 is a 40-channel, general-purpose switch module. Featuring independent SPDT (Form C) relays, the NI PXI-2570 maximizes relay density in a single PXI slot. Each relay contains a normally closed (NC), normally open (NO), and common terminal (COM) and can handle up to 100 VDC/100 VAC or up to 1 A of current. With 40 channels per module, you can switch several hundred ATE loads in a single PXI chassis or thousands of channels in a multiple-chassis configuration.
