The Keithley 7011-C is a quad 1×10 multiplexer switch card designed for integration into Keithley switching mainframes. This modular component provides four independent 1×10 multiplexer channels, each with one common terminal and ten individual switched terminals. The card enables flexible signal routing and simultaneous connection to multiple test points in automated test equipment and data acquisition systems.
Technical Specifications
