NI 9477 Dry circuit rating

Hello,

Can the NI 9477 be used like a relay contact ?
Is a minumum amount current required to saturate the MOSFET switch ?

 

Thanks

Hi B_Lind,

 

Yes, the NI 9477 can be used as a relay contact.  The MOSFET switch does not have a wetting current.  Because it is solid-state, there is no oxidation layer to burn through like there is when you work with electromechanical relays.

Good luck with your application!
