NI-PXIe-1085 power switch

[kzamora]

We have a NI-PXIe-1085 chassis. The power switch went bad. We took the chassis apart and saw the switch is mounted on a pcb board.

Can we get a replacement switch-pcb board?  If we can't get a new pcb, can we just replace the switch? If so, where can we get one?

Thanks for any info.

How are you sure that the power switch is "bad"?

Can you post pictures of the power switch? Is this the momentary switch with LED?

Yes it is bad. It is a momentary switch. NI-PXIe-1085 switch mounted on pcbwitch is not fully retracting.

There isn't any user service guide, typically NI would ask you to send it for repair or buy new.

If you're interested in repairing, easy option is to see if there are any part number on the switch and lookup through hole momentary switch in Digikey and pick one that matches in look, pinout and dimensions.
