Agilent/Keysight M9120A

The Keysight M9120A is a high-density PXI matrix switch module delivering 4×32 2-wire switching architecture for automated test applications. Built on durable armature relays, it routes instrument signals to devices under test with simultaneous multi-channel connection capability. The module supports up to 60 W per channel and features a 4-wire wide bus for flexible signal routing between test instruments and DUT connection points.
