Introduction
Amphenol RF has developed cost-effective coaxial relays designed for direct PCB application using the SMT process, eliminating the need for labor-intensive hand soldering. These relays are engineered to withstand environmental conditions and ensure reliable operation in controlled office environments.

Specifications

Electrical: Impedance options of 50 or 75 Ω, with VSWR ranging from 1.15 to 1.25 across different frequency bands. Insertion loss varies from 0.10 dB to 0.20 dB, and isolation ranges from 50 dB to 65 dB. Power rating is between 50-200 watts at 2 GHz, with an operating voltage of 24-30 volts DC.
Mechanical: Maximum switching time is 15 milliseconds, with an operating temperature range of -25°C to +85°C. The relays have a minimum life cycle of 10,000 operations and are protected against dust with an IEC 529 IP50 rating.
Material: The relays feature zinc die-cast bodies with gold over nickel plating, beryllium copper or brass contacts, and stainless steel compression springs. Other components include LCP or Peek for actuators and insulators, and silicone rubber for dust seals.

Packaging
The relays are available in tape and reel packaging, with 100 units per reel.

Contact Information
Amphenol RF is located in Danbury, CT, USA, with additional facilities in Shenzen, China. Contact details include telephone and fax numbers for both locations.
