The N2262A is a 4×8 matrix switch module engineered for signal routing within automated test systems. This plug-in module for the Keysight 3499A/B/C Switch/Control System provides 32 cross points arranged in a 4-row by 8-column configuration. Each cross point switches two wires—accommodating both high and low signal paths typical of precision measurements. The module employs armature latching relays rated for 10⁸ mechanical cycles, enabling extended service life in high-cycle applications. Up to eight channels operate in parallel for high-speed switching performance. Built-in relay cycle counters support preventive maintenance scheduling.
