2650 MBA (Multiple Bus Architecture) – Explained

Image showing the difference between standard 2650 and MBA 2650.

What is Multiple Bus Architecture?

With MBA switching, functional testing is simplified by connecting power sources and other devices directly to the UUT through a single adapter cable rather than the “Y” cable required with standard switching and separate EE/LM points.

DC and AC power supplies, load panels, potentiometers, and indicator LEDs are just a few examples of what can be connected to your product using MBA switching.

Determining When to Use MBA

  • When you need to test complex assemblies with multiple active devices
  • When you have a large mix of products to be tested that require EE/LM activation

The MBA Difference

  • Simpler universal adapter cables – eliminate complicated spider cables required to separate EE/LM connectors
    • Reduce adapter cable inventory and material costs
  • Each test point is an EE/LM point and a standard switching point
  • Easily accommodate changes to the UUT by changing the test program, not the adapter cables
  • Provides maximum versatility when combined with DIT-MCO’s Adapter ID System
