Visit us at booth 452 in hall A1 at productronica, Munich, Germany, from November 18-21, 2025
Pickering Group, a company with over 50 years of experience in automated test switching, will be showcasing its products and services designed to optimize the development and implementation of high-performance electronic test and verification systems. Highlights include a new compact 12-slot LXI/USB modular chassis and its ultra-high-density 125 Series, the industry's smallest dual-pole reed relays, now available in RF Form B, Form C, and Form A variants. Visit them at booth 452 in Hall A1 at productronica, taking place from November 18–21 at Messe München, Munich, Germany.
Founded in 1975 and celebrating 50 years at the forefront of innovation, productronica, the world's leading trade fair for the electronics manufacturing industry, held in conjunction with SEMICON Europe, presents the full spectrum of technologies and solutions for the development and production of electronic products. From semiconductor manufacturing, microelectronics, and battery production to cleanroom technology and logistics, the world of electronics manufacturing gathers in Munich every two years.
“Our modular switching and simulation products are based on open and widely recognized industry standards that ensure long-term availability, reduce development time, and ultimately accelerate time to market,” said Steven Edwards, Director of Product Management at Pickering. “With deep expertise in switching and simulation system design, we help our customers efficiently achieve their testing objectives and provide them with products featuring intuitive tools that enhance design work and the productivity of development teams. The result is scalable COTS test systems that can be optimized to meet their current and future needs.”
In a presentation of the new 12-slot LXI/USB modular chassis, Lee Huckle, chassis product manager at Pickering Interfaces, added: “With a hybrid PXI/PXIe motherboard and controllability via Ethernet or USB, the chassis occupies only 2U of rack height, making it ideal for space-constrained applications. Offering the most slots available in a 2U chassis and the lowest cost per slot on the market, it addresses a real need in the test and measurement industry: more compact, scalable, and affordable modular test platforms.”
“With over 55 years of experience designing high-quality reed relays for instrumentation and automated test equipment (ATE), our relays are renowned for their high reliability thanks to our superior manufacturing processes and quality control,” said Robert King, product manager for reed relays at Pickering Electronics. Introducing the expanded variants of their ultra-high-density 125 Series reed relays, King added, “Our updated 125 Series retains the world’s most compact size for 2-pole relays and now incorporates the smaller 1A RF, 1B, and 1C options, enabling record channel density and greater routing flexibility on space-constrained boards.”
Pickering will also be showcasing its new TSA (Test System Architecture) software platform at the show. Scheduled for release in early 2026, TSA is designed to help test engineers design, share, maintain, and graphically visualize their test system architecture.
Along with the new products, Pickering will also be showcasing the following switching, simulation, and software products at booth 452 in Hall A1: A PXI-based BMS (Battery Management System) test demonstration, combining 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 demonstration of a 12x12 LXI microwave switching matrix.
- Various PXI/PXIe switching and simulation solutions, including the new MEMS-based MultiGBASE-T1 Fault Insertion Unit (FIU), a 5-amp battery simulator, a high-voltage programmable resistor, and a high-speed resolver.
- In addition to 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 ranges of reed relays, including the recently launched 600 series of customizable high-voltage reed relays.
