HP N2261A
Description
The HP N2261A is a GP relay module, providing 40
independent Single-Pole-Single-Throw (SPST) latching
relays. Each channel can switch up to 200 V, 1 A, and 60 W or
62.5 VA. Thanks for an innovative driving circuit,10
switching channels can be operated simultaneously,
resulting in high throughput of an automatic test system. It
can be operated in either SCPI mode or HP 3488A mode. A
pair of signal can be switched together by using a pair of
channels on two HP N2261A modules. The HP N2261A can be
operated in single channel break-before-make (BBM) or
multiple channel open/close mode. Screw terminal block,
crimp & insert terminal block and DIN96-to-D25/50 cables are
available for ease of wiring.
