The 3762 is a two-pole high-voltage multiplexer card that switches signal levels up to 1000 V, 0.5 A or 
10 VA peak (10 mA at 1000 V) for resistive loads only. Each of the 10 channels on the card consists 
of two single-pole relays combined to create a normally open, double-pole, two-form A channel with a 
user selectable shield or driven guard connection. The output connection and the input connections 
have screw terminals with a maximum allowable wire size No. 16. The schematic representation is 
shown in the next figure.

Switching is done in less than 2 milliseconds, exclusive of the mainframe, and the specified contact 
life is >10
6
 closures with cold switching and >1 x 10
6
 closures at 1000 V/1 ma. The relay drive current 
is 80 mA per channel (40 mA per relay). 
The 3762 is field installable in an appropriate Keithley Series 3700A Systems Switch Multimeter (for 
example, Model 3700A). With the isolation between each channel being greater than 10
10
 Ω and less 
than 10 pF, each channel is well insulated from cross-channel noise and interference.
