- Pickering will present its products and services designed to optimize the development and deployment of electronic test and verification systems at productronica in Munich, Germany, from November 18 to 21, 2025.
- Among these products are a new compact modular LXI/USB chassis with 12 slots and its range of ultra-high-density reed relays, the Series 125, now complemented by the RF variants 1 Form B, 1 Form C, and 1 Form A.
Established in 1975 and celebrating 50 years at the forefront of innovation, the world’s leading trade fair for the electronics manufacturing industry, productronica, co-located with SEMICON Europa, showcases the entire value chain spectrum of technologies and solutions for electronics development and production. From semiconductor manufacturing, microelectronics, and battery production to cleanroom technology and logistics, every two years, the world of electronics production comes together in Munich.
Previewing the new 12-slot LXI/USB modular chassis, Lee Huckle, Chassis Product Manager at Pickering Interfaces, added: “Featuring a hybrid PXI/PXIe backplane and controllable by Ethernet or USB, the chassis occupies only a 2U rack-height form factor – making it ideal for space-restricted applications. Offering the highest slot count available in a 2U chassis and the lowest cost per slot on the market, it addresses a real need in the test and measurement space for more compact, scalable, and affordable modular test platforms.”
Previewing the expanded variants of its Series 125 ultra-high-density reed relays, Robert King said : “Our updated Series 125 retains the world’s smallest 2-pole footprint and now adds the smallest 1A RF, 1B, and 1C options, enabling record channel density and greater routing flexibility on space-constrained cards.”
Pickering will also preview its new TSA (Test System Architecture) software platform at the show. Scheduled for release in early 2026, TSA is designed to help test engineers graphically design, share, maintain, and visualize their test system architecture.
Alongside the newly released products, Pickering will also showcase the following switching, simulation, and software products :
- A PXI-based BMS (battery management system) test demo, which combines multi-cell battery simulators with other switching and simulation modules to create a fully flexible HiL (hardware-in-the-loop) BMS test system.
- Turnkey LXI microwave switching and signal routing subsystems – including a custom 12×12 LXI microwave switching matrix demo.
- Various PXI/PXIe switching and simulation solutions – including the new MEMS-based MultiGBASE-T1 FIU (fault insertion unit), 5 amp battery simulator, high voltage programmable resistor and high speed resolver.
- Along its switching and simulation hardware, the company will also showcase its Switch Path Manager signal routing software, Microwave Switch Design Tool, and cabling and interconnection solutions – including its Cable Design Tool.
- In addition, Pickering Group’s reed relay division, Pickering Electronics, will highlight its latest reed relay ranges, including the recently released Series 600 customizable high voltage reed relays.
