Switching and Simulation products from Pickering Interfaces
The Pickering Group has been designing and manufacturing switching technology since 1968. Pickering Electronics was formed in 1968 to design, manufacture and distribute high-quality reed relays. Twenty years later our sister company was formed; Pickering Interfaces debuted in 1988 with their first modular switching system, and since then, they have been designing and manufacturing modular signal switching and simulation for use in electronic test and verification
Many of Pickering Interfaces’ switching solutions use our Instrumentation Grade Reed Relays. Pickering Interfaces and Pickering Electronics work very closely on cutting-edge reed relay designs, reliability testing, life testing, production engineering and QA issues. This close relationship greatly benefits both companies and gives Pickering Electronics a strong insight into demanding functional test reed relay applications.
Largest range of switching and simulation solutions in the industry
Pickering Interfaces offers the largest range of switching and simulation products in the industry for PXI, PCI, LXI and USB applications, and are continually increasing their product range. With over 1,000 PXI modules alone, Pickering Interfaces cover virtually every application that can be tested. Their philosophy has always been to offer the right amount of switching and/or simulation, with the required performance, at the right cost no matter what the application may be.
Product Longivity
Pickering Interfaces products have a history of longevity, typically 15/20 years. All products manufactured by them come with a 3-year warranty and include guaranteed long-term support. What does that mean to you? Lower cost of ownership, Increased confidence in product uptime and reliable, long-lasting products.
