The Agilent/Keysight Z2468A is a C-size VXI module that provides 32 channels of MOSFET switching for DC and AC signal routing in test and measurement systems. Each channel delivers up to 5 A, configured as unipolar Form A (SPST) solid-state power switches with transformer isolation. The module supports short closure times and low closed-contact resistance, making it suitable for precision switching applications where reliable signal management is critical. Multiple channels can be paralleled to increase current capacity beyond the 5 A per-channel rating.
