Since the invention of the first widget, every innovation has been greeted with two statements, “That’s wonderful,’ followed by “Can you make it bigger, faster, do this or that?”.
The same is true of PS Engineering’s innovative and successful PAC45-series. The PAC45 in 2017, but more control heads and inputs were wanted, so the PAC45 came out in 2018, the PAC45A in 2019, the PAC45D added dual control head functionality in early 2020. But customers wanted more. More knobs, more controls.
PS Engineering is now growing the family again with the PAC45J, a 2.64-inch tall Dzus Control Head with switch control for eight communication and eight navigation receivers. Designed for maxim capability in jets, the PAC45J offers 16 push/pull selection and volume controls that can be exactly configured to match the cockpit requirements.
