EADS 1260-60B

The Racal Instruments™ 1260-60 switch is ideal for microwave applications. All connections are made directly to the SMA relay inputs at the front panel. This allows individual coaxial switches to be configured to provide multiplexer and matrix networks while minimizing interconnection path lengths.

 Relay coil currents of the microwave switches are monitored to provide user-selectable confidence checking. This provides additional assurance of proper relay operation.

The 1260-60 contains 24 SPST relays in groups of 12 to drive external devices. These relays can utilize the internal supplies (+5 V, +12 V, +24 V) or an external supply to drive any device.

The 1260-60 is controlled by the Option 01 message-based interface.
