National Instruments PXI-2565 Relay Module

The National Instruments PXI-2565 is a 7 A, 16-Channel SPST based PXI Relay Module. This module is designed for general applications and is considered ideal for high-current switching of AC/DC current sources, DC power supplies, and AC line power. The NI PXI-2565 is an entirely software programmable module and supports a broad range of instrument synchronization. With this module, the user can achieve a 16-channel SPST topology 125 V DC and 125 V DC, 250 V AC channel-to-channel maximum switching voltage.

This module is measurement category II rated; thus, it is intended to carry voltages under and up to 250 V AC/125 V DC. In addition, the NI PXI-2565 also features 1400 Vrms isolation between the backplane and the input signals. This Relay Module can provide 5 A at 30 V DC maximum switching current, 150 W, 1750 VA maximum switching power (per channel), 5 A DC, 7A AC maximum carry current (per channel), and 10 mA, 5 V DC maximum switch load.

The relays used in this module are non-latching electromechanical relays with gold-flash over silver alloy based contact materials. At 20 °C, these relays are tested to operate within 5 ms, (typical) and 10 ms, (maximum) and to release within 4 ms, (typical) and 5 ms, (maximum). Their mechanical relay life is 5 × 10⁷ cycles and their electrical relay life is 1 × 10⁵ cycles. The NI PXI-2565 can be triggered through PXI trigger lines <0...7> at 70 ns minimum pulse width.
