3706A Series

The Series 3700A offers scalable, instrument grade switching and multi-channel measurement solutions that are optimized for automated testing of electronic products and components. The Series 3700A includes four versions of the Model 3706A system switch mainframe along with a growing family of plug-in switch and control cards. When the Model 3706A mainframe is ordered with the high performance multimeter, you receive a tightly integrated switch and measurement system that can meet the demanding application requirements in a functional test system or provide the flexibility needed in stand-alone data acquisition and measurement applications.

The Model 3706A system switch with high performance digital multimeter (DMM) contains six slots for plug-in cards in a compact 2U high (3.5 inches/89mm) enclosure that easily accommodates the needs of medium to high channel count applications. When fully loaded, a mainframe can support up to 576 two-wire multiplexer channels for unrivaled density and economical per channel costs. The high performance multimeter provides a tightly integrated switch and measurement system that meets the demanding application requirements in a functional test system or provides the flexibility needed in stand-alone data acquisition and measurement applications.
