Keysight / Agilent / HP E1467A-Z2220-84401 Matrix Expansion Terminal Block for E1467A (non-QUIC)

The Keysight E1467A-Z2220-84401 is a matrix expansion terminal block that enables signal routing and matrix density scaling for the E1467A VXI reed relay multiplexer module. This non-QUIC terminal block interfaces directly with the E1467A's native 8×32 two-wire switching matrix, allowing row and column interconnection across multiple modules to achieve larger configurations such as 8×96 matrices. The E1467A itself is a C-size, 1-slot register-based VXI module featuring armature latching relays that switch each crosspoint both high and low. Expansion is achieved through chaining cables that interconnect terminal blocks on separate modules, enabling complex signal routing for advanced test setups.
