This unit
The Astronics/EADS/Racal 1260-12 Actuator Relay Module is a 20-channel signal switching component for aerospace and industrial control applications. Each channel provides Double-Pole, Double-Throw (DPDT) relay switching up to 220 VDC or 250 VACrms at 2A maximum. Channels operate independently or combine for complex switching networks, with built-in relay coil confidence monitoring to verify proper operation.
