Fairview Microwave has announced a new line of high-reliability SPDT surface mount electromechanical RF switches that cover broadband frequencies from DC to 8 GHz. These new RF switches offer exceptional reliability and repeatable performance which make them an ideal solution for demanding industries and applications related to aerospace, defense, industrial, telecom, instrumentation, medical devices and many others.
The SPDT switches are available in compact surface mount packages and are designed for high-rel performance rated for over 2 million life cycles. These models require an operating voltage of +24 VDC and incorporate either Failsafe or Latching Actuators with an exceptional performance over -40°C to +85°C. They have a power rating of 400 W CW, high isolation up to 50 dB and insertion loss as low as 0.1 dB.
The package assembly is fully RoHS compliant and the bottom side consists of a PWB mounting surface that's gold plated and designed to resist the effects of oxidation for ease of soldering. Assembly instructions and downloadable PWB layout software are available from the website. Another key feature with the package design is the ability to withstand exposure to MIL-STD-202 test conditions for sine and random vibration as well as mechanical shock.
