Keysight / Agilent / HP N2264A Multifunction Module (12 + 3 GP + 16-bit Digital I/O)

The Keysight N2264A Multifunction Module integrates 12 general-purpose relays, 3 high-current relays, and 16-bit digital I/O into a single unit for data acquisition and control applications. This consolidated design reduces space requirements and system costs while delivering high-speed parallel switching with built-in relay cycle counters and comprehensive channel protection.

Typical Applications The N2264A addresses data acquisition, automated test systems, and control applications requiring mixed-signal switching and digital I/O in compact form factors. High-current channels handle loads up to 5 A, while general-purpose relays manage lower-power switching tasks. TTL-compatible digital lines support handshaking protocols in parallel measurement systems.

Compatibility & Integration Designed for modular instrument chassis supporting the N2264A architecture. Compatible with the 3499A/B/C series and similar mainframe systems. Complete terminal block and cabling accessories ensure field integration flexibility. Product is obsolete; support through existing documentation and available technical overviews.
