Pasternack announced the release of its innovative series of ruggedized electromechanical relay switches. The switches are engineered to ensure dependable RF signal routing for vital applications, spanning a vast range of market bands from DC to 40 GHz.

This groundbreaking series comprises 40 unique switch models and designs. The switches are suitable for numerous market bands, including L, S, C, X, Ku and K. This provides a wide range of frequency bandwidths and extensive application opportunities.

These switches meet IP64 compliance standards and come with a Level 1 moisture seal. This makes them perfectly suited for customers operating outdoors or where testing might expose them to moisture. This rugged construction ensures durability and dependability across various settings.

The series also delivers outstanding performance, with insertion loss as low as 0.15 dB (typical) and isolation levels reaching up to 90 dB. This ensures superior signal integrity while minimizing signal degradation. Furthermore, they offer diverse actuator options, including latching, failsafe or normally open actuators, with TTL logic compatibility.

Noteworthy is the switches’ high power handling capability. They can manage power up to 160 W continuous wave (CW) at 1 MHz, guaranteeing reliable performance even in demanding situations.

The hardy electromechanical relay switches are available in compact, MIL-grade, coaxial package designs. They are fitted with SMA, 2.92 mm, TNC or N-Type connectors, depending on the frequency band.

“Pasternack’s unwavering commitment is to provide our customers with robust, reliable and readily available solutions tailored to their unique requirements. This latest product line exceeds those expectations,” said Kevin Hietpas, product line manager.
