Agilent / Keysight E1467A 8 x 32 Relay Matrix Switch

The Agilent/Keysight E1467A is a C-size, 1-slot, register-based VXI module designed for versatile signal routing and switching applications. This module features an 8×32 two-wire switching matrix configuration, offering 256 switching points. It is engineered for reliable and precise signal routing in automated test systems, data acquisition, and general-purpose switching scenarios. The E1467A utilizes latching armature relays and supports matrix expansion through a chaining cable, allowing interconnection of rows and columns on different modules to create larger matrix configurations. It shares its core switch card with the E1465A and E1466A models, with the specific terminal block determining the matrix topology.
