This unit

The Astronics / EADS / Racal 1260-17A is a high-density switch module for VXIbus platforms delivering 80 independent Form C (SPDT) relay channels in a single C-size slot. Each channel switches up to 250 VDC or VAC rms at 1 A maximum, with bandwidth to 60 MHz. Channels configure individually or link together for custom switching matrices. Integrated relay contact monitoring enables user-selectable confidence checking to verify proper operation. Control via message-based and register-based interfaces through Option 01 or Option 01T smart controllers; Option 01T adds SCPI command compatibility. The module includes mating connectors (IDC ribbon or crimp discrete-wire options) and carries CE marking for European electrical safety and RF emissions/immunity compliance. Operating range 0°C to 55°C; rated for 10,000 ft altitude, 30 g shock (11 ms, ½ sine), and 85 ±5% RH non-condensing at 30°C. Designed for aerospace, defense, and advanced test platforms where space-efficient, high-reliability signal routing is critical.
