BRIC™ 2nd Generation PXI 2Amp Switch Matrix
The 40-597 PXI Matrix BRIC is a range of high density matrix modules
able to switch up to 2A or 100VDC/70VAC. The 40-597 BRIC modules
are available in 2, 4 or 8-slot sizes to suit most high performance PXI
matrix requirements and are constructed using high quality electro-
mechanical relays for high switching confidence.
Typical applications include signal routing for functional ATE systems.
With its high level of switching density, 40-596 modules allow a
complete system to be housed in a single PXI chassis, BRIC modules
allow the use of a much lower cost 8-slot PXI chassis.

1-POLE 2A BRIC 3U PXI MULTI-SLOT MATRIX 40-597
SECTION 1 - TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
The 2 Amp Matrix BRIC is a higher power/voltage
version of Pickering's established range of PXI
Matrix BRIC modules. It features higher voltage,
current and power handling capability than the
ultra high density reed relay based BRICs. It is
not as suited to switching low level signals, where
Ruthenium Reed Relays are a better choice and
have a very long lifetime of up to 1000 million
operations. For superior low level switching please
refer to our 40-560/561/562 range.

High Reliability and Easy of Use
The 40-597 PXI BRIC is designed to minimise the cost and
complexity of cable assemblies to the device under test and
instrumentation. Analog busing is housed within the module using
a high performance screened analog bus backplane. Pickering
can construct custom cable assemblies for all of our PXI modules,
please contact sales office for further assistance.
Supported by eBIRST
eBIRST switching system test tools simplify switching system fault-
finding by quickly testing the system and graphically identifying the
faulty relay.
