Agilent 34901A
Product Title
Agilent 34901A 20-Channel Multiplexer (2/4-Wire) Module for 34970A / 34972A Data Acquisition Unit
Product Overview
The Agilent 34901A is a high‑performance armature multiplexer module designed exclusively for the Agilent 34970A and 34972A data acquisition / switch mainframe. It is the most widely used general‑purpose scanning module for multi‑channel signal measurement, integrating dense multi‑function switching with fast scan speed to satisfy diverse industrial and laboratory DAQ applications. This module supports mixed 2‑wire and 4‑wire resistance measurement on one single board, ideal for temperature, voltage and resistance scanning tests.
Key Features
✅ 20 primary multiplexer channels plus 2 fused current inputs (22 channels total)
✅ Dual 2‑wire / 4‑wire configurable scanning for precise resistance measurement
✅ Maximum switching voltage: 300 V
✅ Scan rate up to 60 channels per second
✅ Built‑in thermocouple cold‑junction reference junction, eliminates extra compensation hardware for T/C temperature testing
✅ Up to 1A direct AC / DC current measurement, no external shunt resistors required
✅ 10 MHz bandwidth, low thermal offset voltage < 3 µV
✅ Channel‑to‑channel & channel‑to‑earth isolation >10 GΩ
✅ Initial closed‑channel resistance < 1 Ω
✅ Armature relay design for stable low‑level signal switching
