This unit
The Agilent/Keysight E1466A is a C-size VXI relay matrix switch module designed for signal routing in automated test systems. This register-based, 1-slot module delivers a 4×64 two-wire switching matrix with independent high and low switching at each crosspoint. Built on latching armature relay technology, it minimizes power consumption while maintaining high reliability across large-scale switching applications.
Technical Specifications
- Matrix Configuration: 4×64 two-wire switching matrix
- Module Type: C-size, 1-slot VXI relay matrix switch
- Relay Type: Electromechanical latching armature relays
- Maximum Voltage: DC 200 V; AC rms 170 V; Peak 238 V p-p
- Maximum Current: 1 A per channel common, non-inductive
- Maximum Power: 30 W per channel; 62.5 VA per module (resistive load)
- Relay Life: Minimum 10⁷ operations at no load
- Wire Size: 18 to 26 AWG screw terminals
- Power-up State: Relays open upon power-up
- Power-down State: Relay states remain unchanged
Key Features
- Expandability: Chain multiple modules using QUIC terminal block interconnections to scale row and column configurations. A full 13-slot VXI mainframe supports up to 3072 two-wire crosspoints. Four E1466A modules create a 4×256 matrix configuration.
- Modular Terminal Blocks: QUIC easy-to-use terminal blocks enable topology changes via block swap. The E1466A shares the same switch card with E1465A and E1467A modules - terminal block selection determines final matrix configuration.
- Channel List Management: Downloadable channel lists stored in onboard memory
- Firmware: Downloadable command module firmware
Compatibility & Integration
- Programming Support: SCPI (I-SCPI Win 3.1, I-SCPI Series 700, C-SCPI LynxOS, C-SCPI Series 700)
- Framework: VXIplug&play Framework (Windows 95/NT)
- Drivers: Keysight VXIplug&Play driver support Physical: Shipping dimensions 12 in. × 12 in. × 6 in.; shipping weight approximately 5 lbs.
Agilent / Keysight E1466A — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Agilent / Keysight E1466A. Calibration covers all module-specific parameters per manufacturer datasheet, output accuracy and linearity, frequency accuracy, and VXI register and trigger bus compliance. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common Agilent / Keysight E1466A faults: relay contact wear, DAC/ADC drift, VXI backplane connector oxidation. Common faults include relay contact wear, DAC or ADC gain drift, and VXI backplane edge connector oxidation. Most modules are repaired at the component level with full post-repair verification in a C-size or D-size mainframe.
