High Reliability Electromechanical Relay Switch Series Ships Same Day by Pasternack

Pasternack Ships Same-Day their New High-Rel Electro-Mechanical Switch Series

Pasternack is shipping the same day their new low insertion loss repeat-ability electro-mechanical relay switch series. Test and measurement applications require signal processing component performance to be highly accurate and repeatable over long periods and under extreme conditions, so this Pasternack high-rel relay switch series is the answer. In automated test systems where electromechanical relay switch components are used for signal monitoring and routing applications, every switch will add repeatability error. Electromechanical switches which exhibit low insertion loss repeat ability over millions of switching cycles play a critical role to ensure overall system measurement accuracy is maintained at optimum levels. Typical applications for these high reliability relay switch components include test instrumentation, electronic warfare, electronic countermeasures, microwave radio, VSWT, radar, space systems and research and development.

Pasternack’s 12 new models of highly reliable electromechanical switches cover broadband frequencies from DC to 40 GHz. These high rel switch components exhibit very low insertion loss repeatability with guaranteed levels of 0.03 to 0.05 dB over 5 to 10 million switching cycles depending on the model. The RF switches are offered in three configurations: single-pole double-throw (SPDT), single-pole four-throw (SP4T) and single-pole six-throw (SP6T) high-rel electro-mechanical relays. They are designed with latching actuators and desirable features that include indicators, self-cut-off, TTL and 50 Ohm terminations. Impressive performance includes low insertion loss of 0.3 dB with high Isolation of 100 dB typical, and input power ratings of up to 70 watts CW and up to 1 watt for hot switching applications.

This rugged and compact coaxial high reliability, low insertion loss switch series package assemblies are RoHS and REACH compliant, shielded for EMI/RFI suppression and magnetic fields. They are highly reliable and guaranteed to meet a series of MIL-STD-202 environmental test conditions that includes exposure to temperature cycle, humidity, altitude, vibration and shock. Depending on the model and frequency, these electromechanical switches are available with SMA or 2.92mm connectors, some models support ribbon cable assemblies for DC, indicator, and TTL logic controls. All models are export rated as EAR99.

As with the other over 40,000 RF, microwave and millimeter wave components from Pasternack, this high reliability electromechanical relay switch series with low insertion loss repeatability is in-stock. Not only are these high-rel relay switch components in stock, they also ship the same day as they are purchased.
