Pickering LXI Matrix Withstands High Voltages

Pickering Interfaces is expanding its range of LXI-compliant products with the introduction of the 60-311 matrix, designed for high-voltage switching applications. Designed to withstand voltages up to 1kV with up to 2A of carry current, the 60-311 is said to provide a dense and cost-effective solution to matrix-switching solutions where high user voltages may be encountered.

The LXI Class C compliant device uses high-voltage D Type connectors, ensuring connection solutions are readily available from Pickering Interfaces and other suppliers. The 60-311 is offered in three configurations - single, dual and triple 75x4 matrices. Each individual matrix includes isolation relays on the X and Y axis that simplify configuration of the matrix into larger matrix sizes when interconnecting the matrices together, which avoids excessive matrix loading in many applications.

The LXI Class C compliant interface allows simple Ethernet control of the matrix with local or remote access. The 60-311 is designed to be used in rack, bench or distributed tests systems and uses a 3U rack-mountable case system.
