The Keysight DAQM903A is a 20-channel actuator module that integrates directly into DAQ970A and DAQ973A data acquisition mainframes to deliver single-pole, double-throw relay switching for automated test and power management applications. Built on Form C latching relays, the module handles voltage switching up to 300 V, current switching up to 1 A, and power loads up to 50 W across independent channels. Engineers deploy it for power cycling of products under test, controlling indicator and status lights, and actuating external power relays and solenoids. The module achieves a 10 MHz bandwidth with a 120 channels-per-second scan rate, enabling rapid signal routing in complex test systems. Screw-terminal connections simplify wiring, and modular architecture allows combination with other matrix and multiplexer modules to scale switching capacity for custom applications. Each unit ships with a functional test certificate.
