New Waveguide Electromechanical Relay Switch Product Line Ship Same-Day From Pasternack

Pasternack Waveguide Switch Products Deliver Full Waveguide Performance In C, X, Ku, K and Ka Frequency Bands

New waveguide electromechanical relay switch product line from Pasternack ship same-day. These waveguide electromechanical relay switch products cover C, X, Ku, K and Ka frequency bands from 5.85 GHz to 40 GHz. The Pasternack waveguide switches are ideal for applications that include electronic warfare, electronic countermeasures, microwave radio, VSAT, SATCOM, radar, research and development, space systems and test instrumentation.

Pasternack’s new waveguide electromechanical switch components are configured for single-pole double-throw (SPDT) operation with latching self-cut-off actuators, TTL logic and position indicators with manual override. A shorting plate can be removed from these waveguide relay switches for optional double-pole double-throw (DPDT) operation. All these waveguide switch products incorporate a patented motor drive with arc suppression and include an environmentally sealed quick-connect DC control connector and mate. The compact electro-mechanical relay switch package design features integrated waveguide ports with grooved flanges and O-rings included for pressurized operation (up to 30 PSIG). Electromechanical waveguide switch product line is available in a broad selection of popular waveguide sizes which includes: WR137, WR112, WR90, WR75, WR62, WR42 and WR28.

These electromechanical waveguide relay switches deliver performance down to 0.01 dB typical insertion loss and up to 105 dB typical isolation. Models exhibit switching speed levels that range from 54 to 76 msec typical, and are available with either +12 or +28 Vdc nominal voltages. Power Handling capability is impressive with up to 12 kW CW and 320 kW peak (unpressurized, 10% duty cycle). These rugged waveguide electromechanical relay switch designs operate across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, are fully weatherized for up to 100% humidity exposure, and have an operating life of 250K cycles minimum.
