Esterline Power Systems – Leading the Way in Aerospace and Defense Engineering
As one of the core capabilities of Esterline Technologies Corporation, Esterline Power Systems (EPS) draws upon the rich aerospace and military heritage of LEACH® in the field of power switching and control. For nearly 100 years, LEACH has advanced military aerospace and power switching design and technology. LEACH introduced the first “break-in” relay in 1919 and further developed state-of-the-art switching power throughout the 20th century —including Balanced Armature and Balanced Force relays, and rotary and solenoid contactors.
While LEACH relay and contactor breakthroughs have set the industry standard for traditional component design, the past two decades have brought even further advancement in power distribution equipment utilizing solid state power controllers, smart contactors, and safety-critical Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) products. As a result, Esterline Power Systems provides components and equipment for thousands of aerospace, military, rail and high-end industrial applications worldwide.

You can now easily find a faulty, clicking relay on a soldered, screwed or plugged in Leach relay panel.
Below is an example of how quickly a time consuming test can be reduced to seconds
DOWNTIME NIGHTMARE TEST IN THE AIRCRAFT INDUSTRY
The profits generated by reduced troubleshooting time make the Mag-Probe the obvious choice for a CEO, President or Owner, of any service or manufacturing company. Why? Because typically the return on your Mag-Probe investment will be one test. The Mag-Probe is guaranteed to conduct 5,000 five second operations. So after the first test, you can begin recovering your investment. NOT BAD SINCE YOU WILL HAVE 4,999 MORE TESTS AVAILABLE. Below is an example of a downtime nightmare test.
Hello Bob,
An aircraft mechanics worst nightmare is to get a call from the flight crew that they can hear a relay cycling on and off (click…click…click….)
Not only is it hard to figure out which side of the cockpit it is coming from, it takes a great deal of time to pick the bad relay out of a panel that has 30 or more relays. We have all been burned by the “touch” method; you could swear that you feel the relay actuating, but you pull the tiny screws holding the relay to the socket, remove the relay, only to find that was not the correct one… (click…click…click….)
Enter the Mag-Probe… Since this tiny device senses magnetic fields, it will find your cycling relay in no time flat! Simply pass it along the row of relays and when it starts lighting up with the clicks you hear, you have found your cycling relay without dropping those tiny screws down into the abyss of the circuit breaker panel…. Now you can get right to work on finding out why that relay is cycling!

What a dramatic procedure, right to the point. It brought back old nightmares about dropping a screw down a fighter plane fuselage. It went clunk, clunk, clunk and I said, oh S–it. So off I go. Tied a magnet to a string and would dangle it for hours before a sheet metal man finally comes along and removes a section of the A/C. You don’t fly until you find that screw. Thank you Matt your description was perfect.
No matter what industry you work in, finding a clicking relay among a panel of relays is the most difficult task you will conduct when using a voltmeter.
