CR-600  

Chattering Relay 

 

Accessory

The AE Techron 

CR 600 Chattering Re-

lay 

is a cost-effective, rugged yet elegant 

solution to the DO 160 Section 19.3.5 

“Spikes Induced into Interconnecting 

Cables” test requirement.
Internally built around a 50A high-cur

-

rent relay with two independent sets of 

contacts, the CR 600 was engineered for 

double the life before refurbishment.  
The CR 600 uses quick-connect, touch-

proof connectors to ensure efficient 

setup and a safe test environment. It also 

includes quick-clip test points for oscillo

-

scope monitoring of tests in progress.

When driven from an intermittent voltage 

source like the AE Techron DSR 100-

25 and utilizing test waveform, “Section 

19.3.5 CR 600”, the CR 600 output 

meets the voltage (600V), duration (50 

– 1000 µs) and repetition-period (0.2 to 

10 µs) requirements specified by the DO-

160 standard.

Application

The AE Techron CR-600 accessory was 

designed for use with AE Techron ampli

-

fiers to perform the Spikes Induced into 

Interconnecting Cables test as part of 

aviation test standards like RTCA DO160 

Section 19.3.5.
