The PE71S8003 from Pasternack is a Single Pole Four Throw (SP4T) PIN Diode Switch that operates from 30 to 512 MHz. It has a switching speed of 12 µs and provides isolation of more than 50 dB. This switch can handle an input power of up to 500 W and has an insertion loss of less than 0.75 dB. It supports both hot and cold switching and can be controlled with solder pins using DC or TTL logic. This SP4T switch is designed to offer military-grade performance and has an aluminum design. It requires a DC supply of 5-15 V and consumes 200 mA of current.
The PE71S8003 is available in a module that measures 3.5 x 4 x 1.5 inches and has N-type (female) connectors for RF ports. It is ideal for microwave radio systems, radar systems, test and measurement, research and development, RF wideband front-end, military, and commercial communication systems applications.
