Electro-Mechanical – 50 Ohm RF Switches

The 50 Ohm electro-mechanical RF switch models listed in the table are only our online models.  If you can't find a model in the table that fits your exact 50 Ohm electro-mechanical RF switch requirement, please contact JFW.  With so many options (DC supply voltage levels, TTL control, RoHS, Non-RoHS, self-terminating, indicators) picking out an electro-mechanical RF switch can be frustrating and time consuming.  Email in your RF switch requirements and let us pick out a model and respond with a full quote.  If you have any questions, one of our RF engineers can call you and answer your specfic questions.

Common Electro-mechanical RF switch terminology...
Normally Open:	With no power applied, the common port is not connected to any of the output ports.
N.O.	Common abbreviation for Normally Open.
Failsafe:	With no power applied, the common port is connected to one of the output ports.
Reflective:	Switch ports are high impedance (open) when ports are turned off.
Absorptive:	Ports that are turned off are internally terminated with the proper impedance. (i.e. 50 Ohm impedance models are internally terminated with 50 Ohms.)
Self-terminating:	This term is used interchangeably with “absorptive”. Ports that are turned off are internally terminated with the proper impedance. (i.e. 50 Ohm impedance models are internally terminated with 50 Ohms.)
Hot Switching:	The switch changes state while a RF signal is still being applied to the switch.
Cold Switching:	No RF signal is applied to the RF switch while the RF switch is changes states.
Switching Speed:	Port turning ON = 50% TTL control to 90% of the RF signal. Port turning OFF = 50% TTL control to 10% of the RF signal.
Rise Time:	Port turning ON = 10% of the RF signal to 90% of the RF signal.
Fall Time:	Port turning OFF = 90% of the RF signal to 10% of the RF signal.
