Agilent E1442A

Description

The Agilent E1442A 64-Channel General-Purpose Switch is a

C-size, 1- slot, register-based VXI module

that contains

nonlatching Form C type relays. They can be used for device

actuation, as digital output modules, or to create flexible

signal switching topologies.

Each product has two parts—a component card containing

the relays, that plugs into the mainframe, and a removable

terminal block that plugs onto the component card. The

component card has 64 Form C relays with three independent

axial component locations per relay. These locations can be

used for jumpers, fuses, or pullup/down and protection

resistors. All three relay terminals can be connected through

such components to one of three internal buses.

The E1442A terminal block comes standard with solder lugs

that allow full access to the Form C (SPDT) capability of the

component module relays. Option 020 has a screw terminal

block that allows access to the Form A (SPST) contacts only.

Option 010 gives you complete Form C connectivity with

more customization versatility.
