Using this Switches Replacement Relay Guide

This guide is intended to cover replacement relays designed for use with NI Switches. It does not explicitly cover replacement parts for other NI product families such as DAQ. HSDIO, C Series, or reconfigurable I/O (formerly R Series). It also does not cover legacy or End of Life (EOL) parts or products.

To determine the compatibility of your terminal or connector block accessory or your NI Switches cable with an NI Switch module or device, visit the NI Switch Cable and Accessory Compatibility Guide.
To create your own cable or test fixture, or to repair an existing NI Switch cable or accessory, visit NI Switch Mating Connectors for Custom Solutions or Cables Guide.
For assistance getting started connecting signals to your NI Switch see How to Connect Signals to an NI Switch.

How to Replace a Relay on Your Switch

If a relay on your NI Switch is broken or has failed you will need to perform the following tasks to replace it.

Identify the correct replacement relay for your module or device. See the NI Replacement Relays and Manufacturer Part Numbers for relay orderable part numbers.
Once you have the correct replacement relay, navigate to the NI-Switch Help. If you have installed NI-Switch on your system, the NI-Switch Help can be found in the <National Instruments>\NI-SWITCH\NI-SWITCH Documentation folder, or the NI-Switch Help can be found online.
In the NI-Switch Help you will find guidance on replacing your relay by navigating to NI Switches Help>>Devices>><Model Number>>>Relay Replacement. Here you will find a step-by-step guide on how to replace relays on your switch module.

For example, a step-by-step guide on how to replace a relay in the NI PXIe-2526 can be found by navigating to NI Switches Help>>Devices>>NI PXIe-2526>>Relay Replacement.

¹ The IM42GR and IM42PGR relays are drop in replacements. Some switch model revisions were built using different relays. Contact NI to find out which relay was used on a specific device. ² The G6KU_2K-Y can be used with the 2575 but is not a drop in replacement for the other relays listed as it is only rated for 30W. Some switch model revisions were built using different relays, contact NI to find out which relay was used on a specific device. ³ Some switch model revisions were built using different relays.
