A rectangular array of horizontal and vertical input or output leads with diode or correed crosspoints at the intersection, used as a means of switching from any input to any output. (SMICO, 71: 238) In circuit switching at least, the matrix has proven to be the most difficult section to reduce to electronics partly because of the mass of contacts that is represented, but also because the best electronic device is not as good a switch point as are metallic contacts.

Dans certains systèmes("Pentaconta") il y a presque toujours identité des deux notions, dans d’autres non(CP 400).
