A compact product for applications requiring 16 Y axis connections, the 60-554 occupies just 1U of a rack height in a test system. With a 2A current rating and a voltage rating 300V DC/250V AC, the matrix is capable of handling the most commonly encountered signals in ATE systems. The X axis dimension can be selected from a range of seven models offering sizes from 64×16 to 25616, containing up to 4096 relays.

User connections are provided by simple-to-use 78-way D-Type connectors which are fully supported by the range of Pickering Interfaces cable and connector accessories, further simplifying customer integration requirements.

This product expands the range of 60-550 series matrices from Pickering Interfaces that feature ×4 to ×64 Y axis dimensions. The standard Y axis loop-through feature allows users to easily expand the X axis matrix dimensions to address very large I/O applications.

David Owen, Business Development Manager for Pickering Interfaces comments: "These matrices are part of our expanding range of large scale switching solutions available with LXI interfaces. LXI is proving to be an ideal platform for Pickering Interfaces to develop the large switching systems required by our customers, in a compact form factor that are more compact than modular standards, easier to configure and simpler to program."
