Features

  • Operating frequency from DC to 67 GHz across SPDT, transfer, 2P3T, and multi-throw product families

  • Actuation voltages of 12, 15, 24, and 28 Vdc; failsafe and latching configurations available across all standard series

  • Connector options: SMA, TNC, Type-N, 2.92 mm, 2.4 mm, and U-type for frequency and power handling optimization

  • 5 million cycle life on standard families; 3 million cycles on configurations with indicator contacts

  • Internal 50-ohm termination available on SPDT and multi-throw families for terminated switching configurations

  • Factory options: TTL interface, D-Sub connector, moisture seal, indicator contacts, self-cutoff (latching), and coil transient suppression diodes

Benefits

  • Insertion loss repeatability characterized at 5 million cycles directly bounds measurement uncertainty over the life of the test system -- not just at initial calibration

  • Internal 50-ohm termination eliminates external load requirements and removes reflection errors at unused ports in multi-port ATE setups

  • Connector selection from SMA through 2.4 mm lets one product family address multiple system architectures without a platform redesign

  • Elite temperature variants extend operation to -50 degrees C, satisfying environmental requirements for outdoor infrastructure and airborne platforms

  • Failsafe actuation provides a predictable default state on power loss -- a system safety requirement for avionics and defense installations

  • Self-cutoff option on latching switches prevents sustained coil energization, reducing thermal load and extending coil service life

Applications

  • ATE and signal routing in RF test systems requiring SPDT or multi-throw switches from DC to 67 GHz with insertion loss repeatability over millions of cycles

  • Radar, electronic warfare, and communications defense platforms requiring broad-temperature coaxial switching at microwave frequencies

  • Satcom ground stations and VSAT terminals using Ku-band and Ka-band switches in multi-port antenna routing configurations

  • 5G base stations and high-band telecom infrastructure requiring low-PIM coaxial switching to -165 dBc third-order PIM

  • Calibration and signal conditioning systems using transfer switches for break-before-make path switching without signal interruption

  • High-power RF amplifier test using Type-N or TNC switches rated for continuous power handling up to several hundred watts
