Medium and high power RF loads (also referred to as dummy loads or RF terminations) are commonly used in military/aerospace, defense and test and measurement applications in order to protect radios and amplifiers under test from excess power in the system. Our new medium and high power RF loads come in 25 Watt, 50 Watt and 100 Watt termination models. These RF load terminations are offered with many connector configurations including male and female versions of SMA, N, TNC and 7/16 DIN. The 25 Watt and 50 Watt dummy load termination models operate to 18 GHz, with the exception of the 7/16 DIN version, which is rated to 8 GHz. All of the Pasternack 100 Watt termination load components operate to 8 GHz.

Pasternack’s new medium and high power RF load terminations are manufactured with black anodized aluminum cooling fins for convection cooling. These coaxial termination loads require no additional heatsink to dissipate excessive heat during use. Operating temperatures range from -55 to +125 degrees C, making them an ideal solution for a wide range of environmental conditions in the lab and in the field. The rectangular body of the medium and high power terminator loads can also be hard mounted using 4 threaded mounting holes.
