Keysight / Agilent / HP E1467A-Z2220-84401 Matrix Expansion Terminal Block for E1467A (non-QUIC)

The Keysight E1467A-Z2220-84401 is a matrix expansion terminal block that enables signal routing and matrix density scaling for the E1467A VXI reed relay multiplexer module. This non-QUIC terminal block interfaces directly with the E1467A’s native 8×32 two-wire switching matrix, allowing row and column interconnection across multiple modules to achieve larger configurations such as 8×96 matrices. The E1467A itself is a C-size, 1-slot register-based VXI module featuring armature latching relays that switch each crosspoint both high and low. Expansion is achieved through chaining cables that interconnect terminal blocks on separate modules, enabling complex signal routing for advanced test setups.

## Technical Specifications

• **Matrix Configuration:** Expands E1467A native 8×32 matrix through multi-module interconnection
• **VXI Module Form Factor:** C-size, 1-slot register-based architecture
• **Relay Type:** Armature latching relays with bidirectional crosspoint switching
• **Maximum Voltage (E1467A Module):** 200 V (any terminal to any other terminal)
• **Maximum Current (E1467A Module):** 1 A (any terminal to any other terminal)
• **Matrix Scaling:** Three E1467A modules with interconnected terminal blocks create 8×96 configuration
• **Performance Degradation:** Matrix expansion may affect crosstalk and bandwidth performance

## Key Features

• Non-QUIC interface specification ensures compatibility with legacy E1467A installations
