Products in this Category that appear as Black Circuit Boards are Now a Permanent Product Offering.

Legacy Relay Controllers were designed as part of our original product offering. Because of their popularity, discontinuing these products is not really a good option for our customers. Older boards may be available as a green circuit board while the final version has been updated to a black circuit board and assembled on our high-speed pick and place equipment. The black versions will not be discontinued. Some products in this category are scheduled for an update to surface mount technology. When possible, we suggest the ProXR Lite series controllers. If upgrades are not an option, please contact us and we can discuss bringing some of these products back into production.

Products in this Category are Not Recommended for New Designs. Please See “ProXR Lite Relay Controllers”.
