Equipped with an actuator that provides a "normally-open" mode of operation, the P/N 567-5308 microminiature, multiple-position (SP3T to SP6T) radial switch features a switching time of 15 ms. Operating on 24 to 32 Vdc, nominal operating current is 130 mA typical at 20¡C. Over its operative frequency range of from dc to 18 GHz, maximum VSWR ranges from 1.2: to 1.5:1, minimum isolations is from ranges from 80 dB to 60 dB, maximum insertion loss is from 0.2 dB to 0.5 dB, and RF power ranges from 50 WCW to 10 WCW.
