Raycom transformers headed into space.

Raycom has produced several magnetic components including transformers and inductors for space applications. These products have been tested to and successfully met all requirements of MIL-STD-981 (the U.S. space standard for such components) before taking to the skies, and beyond. This component has been designed to comply with ECSS-Q-ST-60C and MIL-STD-981 Class S.
