RF Switch

Traditional coaxial relays have frame-mounted package designs and require hand soldering of the solenoid power leads. These designs are labor-intensive and increase the cost of the end product. Amphenol RF has developed more cost-effective coaxial relays that significantly reduce the labor involved with mounting to the PCB. This extra labor can be eliminated because Amphenol RF’s designs can be applied directly to the PCB using the SMT process.Each relay contains several features to withstand environmental conditioning. Highlights include a sealed construction with an IEC 529 rating of IP50 to ensure the RF switching cavity remains clean and particle free for error free operation in controlled office environments for extended life cycles. A robust internal design ensures protection against industry standard vibration and mechanical and thermal shock conditions.
