Series1250 Switch Controller

Series1250 Switch Controller

The Series1250 Switch Controller is a family of modular switching products manufactured by Racal Instruments. Built around the Universal Switch Controller mainframe, the series provides configurable signal switching and routing for automated test and measurement systems.

The series is composed largely of plug-in control modules and cards that expand and customize the controller's switching capabilities. These include RF multiplexers rated at 200 MHz, 500 MHz, and 1 GHz, signal multiplexers, scanner/mux assemblies, and signal matrix modules available in multiple option configurations.

Module Types

• RF multiplexers — 1x-style options spanning 200 MHz to 1 GHz bandwidths
• Signal matrix and scanner/mux modules — for flexible signal routing
• Relay driver and actuator assemblies — for switch control
• Terminated 50 Ohm and 75 Ohm 1 GHz modules
• Support hardware — power supply and power module assemblies, computer PCB, digital I/O, and high-density signal switching cards

Many products are identified by option numbers, reflecting the configurable nature of the platform. The series supports signal switching applications in electronic test environments.
