Radio and high-frequency amplifying technology almost always forms the basis of our modern communication facilities.

Radio and high-frequency amplifying technology almost always forms the basis of our modern communication facilities. Mobile phones would be unthinkable without them.

As a general rule, large, heavy and expensive SMA coaxial relays have been used to switch large high-frequency loads. Now with its new RN series relay, Panasonic Electric Works offers a modern alternative.

Besides compact dimensions of just 14.6 x 9.6 x 10.0mm³ (L x W x H), this relay is available as a surface-mount terminal (SMT) and features a nominal switching capacity of 80W at 2GHz and maximum contact carrying power of 150W. With a 1 Form C contact arrangement and at a coil resistance of 50�, the relay can switch frequencies up to 8GHz with an isolation of at least 30dB, a maximum V.S.W.R. of 1.3 and an insertion loss of no more than 0.3dB.

Besides the single-side stable contact arrangement, 2 coil latching types are available in the customary intervals for coil voltage of 4.5V, 12V and 24V. Additional reversed contact types allow for even more flexibility when designing circuit boards.

Typical Applications
