This document lists specifications for the PXIe-2746. All specifications are subject to change without notice.

Definitions

Warranted specifications describe the performance of a model under stated operating conditions and are covered by the model warranty.

Characteristics describe values that are relevant to the use of the model under stated operating conditions but are not covered by the model warranty.

Typical specifications describe the performance met by a majority of models.
Nominal specifications describe an attribute that is based on design, conformance testing, or supplemental testing.

Specifications are Typical unless otherwise noted.

Conditions

Specifications are valid at 23 °C unless otherwise noted.

All voltages are specified in DC, AC_pk, or a combination unless otherwise specified.

Topology

Quad 4 × 1 multiplexer

Input Characteristics

Maximum switching voltage	30 V
Maximum switching current (per channel)	0.5 A
Maximum carry current (per channel)	0.5 A
Maximum RF power	10 W
Minimum switch load	0 dBm

Caution The switching power is limited by the maximum switching current and the maximum voltage. Channel-to-common switching power must not exceed 10 W.

Note NI recommends against switching active RF signals. As a relay actuates, the channel is momentarily unterminated. Some RF sources can be damaged by reflections if their outputs are not properly terminated. Refer to your RF source documentation for more information.

Note Switching active RF signals below 0 dBm may degrade signal integrity and decrease relay life. For more information about switching active RF signals, visit ni.com/info and enter Info Code RFSwitching.

Typical DC path resistance
Initial	<1 Ω
End-of-life	≥2 Ω

Path resistance is a combination of relay contact resistance and trace resistance. Contact resistance typically remains low for the life of a relay. At the end of relay life, the contact resistance rises rapidly above 1.0 Ω.

RF Performance Characteristics

Characteristic impedance (Z₀)

50 Ω nominal

Insertion loss
≤1 GHz	1.5 dB
≤2.7 GHz	2.5 dB

Typical isolation
≤1 GHz	>60 dB
≤2.7 GHz	>40 dB

Typical channel-to-channel skew

<160 ps

Refer to the following figures for typical insertion loss, typical VSWR, and typical isolation, respectively.

Dynamic Characteristics

Maximum relay operate time	10 ms
Expected mechanical relay life	1 × 10⁷ cycles

Physical Characteristics

Relay type	Electromechanical, latching
I/O connectors	20 MCX jacks, gold plated
PXI Express power requirement	3.96 W at 3.3 V, 0.2 W at 12 V
Dimensions (L × W × H)	3U, one slot, PXI/cPCI module 21.6 cm × 2.0 cm × 13.0 cm(8.5 in. × 0.8 in. × 5.1 in.)
Weight	372 g (11.45 oz)

Environment

Operating temperature	0 °C to 55 °C
