This unit
The Keysight/Agilent/HP E1469A is a 4×16 relay matrix switch module designed for signal routing in automated test equipment and general-purpose switching applications. This C-size, 1-slot VXI module employs latching relays to deliver two-wire switching with both high and low control on each of its 64 crosspoints, plus guard/shield capability. The module supports expansion through daisy-chain interconnection to build larger matrices.

Key Features
Latching relay architecture eliminates continuous hold power
Low contact resistance maintains signal integrity across switching cycles
Dual high/low switching per crosspoint enables flexible signal control
Guard capability reduces crosstalk in sensitive measurements
Modular design supports expansion via daisy-chain cabling
Typical Applications Signal routing in production test systems, burn-in test environments, and general-purpose switching for multi-channel test configurations requiring moderate voltage and current handling.
Compatibility & Integration Multiple E1469A modules interconnect using the Model E1468-80002 daisy-chain cable. Three modules create a 4×48 matrix; four E1468A modules with interconnection cables form a 16×16 matrix. The E1469A shares the same component card as the E1460A. For applications exceeding 64 crosspoints where high voltage/power capability is not required, the E1465/66/67A relay matrices offer alternative configurations.
