product HP 3499A/B Switch/Control Mainframe Test at the speed of the Revolution
CONFIDENCE It’s what switching means to your test system HP 3499A/B Switch/Control Mainframe HP 3499 family is a high speed, high density switching solution for automatic test (ATE) applications that provides a 30% cost and space savings over its predecessor-the HP 3488A. The HP 3499A can scan at rates up to 80 channels per second, or open/close 200 channels in less than 0.1 second. It can accommodate up to 5 plug-in option modules, routing up to 200 channels in a test system.
What can you expect from a high-speed and high-density switching system that’s this affordable ? Performance you can trust While traditional switching mainframes open/close relays in sequence, the HP 3499A/B use innovative parallel driving circuits to open/close switches simultaneously. The HP 3499A can drive up to 50 channels in 25 ms. The parallel operation of the HP 3499A/B significantly increases the test throughput of an automated test system.

The 2 mainframes and 19 modules allow you to customize the HP 3499 switch and control system to meet your unique requirements.
Built-in relay cycle counter to facilitate test system maintenance In a high-speed automatic test equipment (ATE) system, unplanned downtime can be fatal to a highyield production line. To help test engineers perform preventative maintenance by predicting relay end-oflife, there are built-in relay cycle counters on the 5 high-density switching modules, thereby avoiding costly production line downtime.
