Description
HP 92205Y HP-IB GPIB IEEE-488 ABC Switch Device Select A B C
The HP 92205Y is a Hewlett-Packard HP-IB (GPIB / IEEE-488) ABC Switch that connects one controller to up to three instruments on an HP-IB bus. A front-panel rotary knob labeled Device Select lets the operator quickly route the bus to device position A, B, or C without recabling. Four 24-pin IEEE-488 connectors on the rear panel handle the controller and three instrument connections.

Applications
The HP 92205Y was designed for HP-IB (IEEE-488) test and measurement environments where a single controller — such as an HP desktop computer or programmable controller — needs to address multiple instruments without manual recabling. ABC-type switches like this were standard accessories in 1970s–1990s HP instrument setups, allowing a test engineer to share one GPIB bus port across three instruments (oscilloscopes, signal generators, power supplies, DMMs, etc.) and select between them with a single knob turn. The HP-IB / IEEE-488 bus standard remains in use today in legacy test systems, ATE (automated test equipment) environments, and vintage HP instrument collections, making the 92205Y a useful accessory for anyone maintaining or expanding an HP-IB-based bench or rack system.
This Hewlett-Packard HP 92205Y HP-IB GPIB IEEE-488 ABC Switch has been pulled from a working environment where it was previously in use. It has been visually inspected and appears to be in good condition. The front-panel rotary Device Select knob and all four rear 24-pin GPIB connectors look intact with no obvious damage. Some light cosmetic wear typical of used lab equipment may be present — please review all photos for a full picture of the cosmetic condition.
