Radiall expands its RAMSES R570 Coaxial Relay Series with a new 50 GHz SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) switch featuring three 2.4 mm connectors.

The Radiall Modular System for Electromechanical Switches (RAMSES) is a patented technology that enables microwave coaxial switches to be produced with a typical operating life of ten million cycles without a decrease in contact resistance reliability over time. Most competitive products can only achieve one million cycles. In addition, the unique internal construction makes the switches modular, which reduces the cost and lead time.

Features and benefits

All RAMSES configurations are applicable to the 50 GHz SPDT Switch and are available with:

  • Failsafe or latching versions
  • Fitted with three 2.4 mm connectors
  • 12 or 28 volts
  • Additional options include: TTL driver, self cutoff, indicators

Product characteristics

The RAMSES SPDT Switch is optimized for excellent RF performance up to 50 GHz

  • Insertion loss:  0.7 dB typical at 50 GHz
  • VSWR:  1.55 typical at 50 GHz
  • Isolation:  80 dB typical at 50 GHz
  • Life:  2 million cycles
  • Actuator terminal:  Solder pins
