CABDO160CR, DO 160 Section 19 Interconnecting Cable Spike Generator


Overview

The Section 19 Spike Generator is engineered to replicate the relay contact bounce and arcing transients specified in RTCA DO 160 Section 19.3.5 and Boeing D6-16050-4 Section 7.5.2. Delivering precisely controlled high-voltage pulse trains into interconnect cabling enables accurate verification of avionics equipment immunity to voltage spikes.


Key Features

  • Standards Compliance
    – Conforms to RTCA DO 160 Section 19.3.5 “Chattering Relay Simulation” requirements.

  • High Voltage Pulse Output
    – Adjustable pulse amplitude up to 600 V, burst duration 50–1000 µs, spike width 0.2–10 µs.

  • Touch Screen Control
    – Intuitive 7″ display for setting test duration (10 s–10 min), polarity, and duty cycle in real time.

  • Dual Monitor Ports
    – Two 100:1 oscilloscope monitor outputs (≥100 MHz bandwidth) for real-time pulse verification.

  • Robust Safety Design
    – Shrouded 4 mm banana outputs, reinforced HV wiring, and mandatory earth ground lug ensure operator protection.

Safety Precautions

 

  • Qualified Personnel Only: Only trained operators may use this generator.

  • Grounding Required: Connect the front-panel earth lug to the reference ground plane before energizing.

  • No Live Contact: Keep personnel clear of the EUT and wiring during pulse application.

  • Equipment Integrity: Inspect all HV wiring and shrouded connections for damage prior to each use.
