Coax Switches Seek Microwave Employment

Taking up residence in microwave applications, the CR-33 and CCR-33 series coaxial SPDT switches report low insertion losses, high isolation, and repeatability. The CR-33 components operate with a frequency range from dc to 22 GHz in temperatures ranging from –54°C to +85°C while the CCR-33 switches operate in the dc to 18 GHz range and in temperatures from –25°C to +65°C. Characteristic impedance for both is 50? and they are available with SMA, T, N, and SMB connectors. Price for is $72 each/100. TELEDYNE RELAYS, Hawthorne, CA. (800) 284-7007.
