The Keithley 7071 General Purpose Matrix Card is an 8x12 configuration that switches High, Low, and Guard at each of the 96 relay crosspoints. The eight rows are connected automatically to the general purpose analog backplane when the matrix card is installed into the 707A and 708A mainframe. This allows for easy expansion in 12 column increments and eliminates the requirement for wiring between cards.

The matrix card will handle voltages up to 200V and currents up to 0.5A switched or 1A unswitched. A 5μV contact potential assures that ,the switch does not adversely affect low voltage sensitivity. The 3dB signal bandwidth is 5 MHz. Guard inputs improve isolation between signals and assure <100pA offset currents into any electrical path.
