AEM RS16-001 GPS LORAN Data Transfer Switch 28VDC

The RS16-001 16P2T GPS/LORAN Transfer Switch is a rugged, 16-channel data switch that routes navigation signals between GPS and LORAN sources in a 28 VDC system, delivering reliable source selection for avionics and other aerospace hardware. Manufactured by Canyon Aeroconnect as RS16-001, it carries NSN 5930-01-582-9676 and uses a 16-pole, dual-throw configuration that lets each channel switch between two input sources, enabling rapid, fail-safe handoff between GPS and LORAN data paths. The unit supports switching with either voltage-keyed or ground-keyed signaling, accommodating long harness runs and varied installation environments, and is designed for operation within demanding aerospace electrical systems. Common applications include navigation data routing in aircraft and related platforms that require redundancy between GPS and LORAN inputs, where the RS16-001 simplifies harnessing and enhances mission reliability by providing clean, isolated transitions between positioning sources.
