High-rel electromechanical relay switch series from Pasternack are offered with designs that range from 2 to 10 million life cycles, making them uniquely qualified for applications including defense and commercial aviation, semiconductor manufacturing, communications, radar, SATCOM, test instrumentation, medical devices and many others. These RF switch components consist of 42 unique designs which include 38 connectorized models. High reliability electromechanical switches also include 4 surface-mount devices that boast a small footprint and lower cost than traditional connectorized packages.

A unique patented design of the high reliability RF switch actuator and transmission link has been optimized for magnetic efficiency and mechanical rigidity which guarantees operation up to 10 million life cycles with excellent repeatability. The rugged MIL-STD-202 qualified construction of each RF relay switch is designed to withstand exposure to sine and random vibration and mechanical shock. Pasternack’s coaxial electromechanical switches are available in package styles using SMA and Type N connectors.

High reliability electro-mechanical coaxial relay switch series from Pasternack includes varieties from SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) through SP12T (Single Pole 12 Throw). Frequencies for these new electromechanical RF relay switches range from DC to 40 GHz depending on the model. These highly reliable coaxial RF relays have operating voltage ranges from +12V to +30V and power rating range from 5W to 700W.

Pasternack high-rel relay switches for RF have high isolation up to 85 dB and low insertion loss of 0.15 dB at 1 GHz. Additional features of these switches include: indicators, a latching actuator, a failsafe actuator and TTL Inputs. As with the other over 40,000 Pasternack RF, microwave and millimeterwave components, these coaxial high-reliability switches for RF are in-stock and ship the same day as purchased.
