Switches

RF Switches from Pasternack and RF Lambda

Switches are components that can break an electrical circuit, interrupting the current or diverting it from one conductor to another. Switches are general purpose building block components used in multiple markets for RF, Microwave, Millimeter-wave applications.
Switch Electrical Parameters:
- Insertion Loss (transmission loss) (dB)
- Isolation (dB)
- Switching Speed (Switching Time) (Seconds)
- RF Power Handling (Watts)
- Operating DC Voltage (Vdc)
- 50 Ohm Load Termination
