The Keysight (Agilent) E1364A is a B-size, 1-slot, register-based VXI module containing 16 independent SPDT (Form C) switches. It features latching armature relays capable of carrying 1 A of current, making it ideal for general-purpose switching, scanning, control, or digital output applications. The module also supports internal routing of +5 V or +12 V supplies for actuating external devices and retains switch positions when power is removed.
