Specifications and Characteristics
M9103A PXI high-density multiplexer
M9103A specifications and characteristics
The M9103A is a high-density, 99-channel, high-powered
armature relay multiplexer. Each channel has a high and low for
2-wire switching and can switch up to 100 Vrms, with up to 60 W
of power. The modules’ isolation switch connects the closed
channels to the module common. Easily connect to the multiplexer
with a high-density, 200-pin low force helix (LFH) connector or
cable.

1. Not for connection to mains.
2. Channel resistance is typically < 1.5 Ω but can go as high as 50 Ω when
a channel is used in measurement applications with < 10 mA load
current. Increased relay channel resistance for measurements with load
currents below 10 mA can occur on cards that have been out of service
or following relay inactivity for periods greater than 1 week. Switching
relays for 2K cycles prior to use may reduce the variation in channel
resistance. Keysight recommends the use of 4-wire Ohms for resistance
measurements. For high accuracy voltage measurements, select the
DMM input resistance setting of >10 G ohms to minimize the impact of
relay contact resistance.
