The National Instruments PXI-2586, designated by Part Number 778572-86, is a versatile 12 A, 10-channel SPST relay module designed for PXI systems. It serves as an effective solution for switching loads and managing power signals in various applications such as control systems, automotive testing, battery assessments, and power supply evaluations. The PXI-2586 is fully software programmable, compatible with PC-based control software, allowing users to implement both 10-SPST and 5-DPST configurations. This relay module supports a maximum switching voltage of 300 V (channel-to-channel) and 300 V, CAT II (channel-to-ground), while providing a maximum carry or switching current of 12 A per channel, with operation guaranteed up to 45 °C. Built with single-side stable electromechanical relays featuring silver-nickel contact material, the PXI-2586 has a mechanical relay life rated at 10 million cycles and allows for field replacement of relays. Its compact design occupies a single 3U PXI slot, with dimensions of 21.6 x 2.0 x 13.0 cm and a weight of 400 g (14 oz). The module is able to detect trigger signals with a minimum pulse width of 150 ns via PXI trigger lines 0–7, and can recognize shorter pulse widths when digital filtering is disabled. Furthermore, at 23 °C and with 50 ohms termination, the PXI-2586 demonstrates a channel-to-channel crosstalk performance of less than or equal to -85 dB in the 10 kHz frequency range.
