HP / Agilent 59306A Relay Actuator

The HP/Agilent 59306A Relay Actuator enables remote actuation of relays within automated test and measurement systems. This electromechanical or solid-state device controls signal routing and power switching through integration with ATE platforms and programmable logic controllers. The actuator accepts control signals to energize or de-energize connected relay coils, providing output signals that manage relay contact states.

– Technical Specifications

• Actuation mechanism: Electromechanical or solid-state drive
• Control interface: Designed for ATE and PLC integration
• Output control: Manages relay contact states (open/closed)
• Electrical isolation: Available between control circuitry and actuated relay coils to prevent ground loops and protect control electronics

– Key Features

• Remote relay control for signal and power switching applications
• Multi-relay actuation capability within test setups
• Accepts defined voltage or current actuation signals
• Supports various relay types used in laboratory and industrial test environments
• Compatible with rack-mount and benchtop system architectures

– Typical Applications

• Automated signal routing in test systems
• Remote power control within ATE environments
• Integration into larger measurement and switching networks requiring programmatic relay control

– Compatibility & Integration

The 59306A is engineered for deployment within HP/Agilent automated test ecosystems and compatible measurement architectures. Control interfaces accommodate multi-pin connectors (D-sub, screw terminal, or proprietary formats) for integration into existing chassis and enclosures. System compatibility extends to standard test executive software environments and programming frameworks used in modern ATE configurations.
