Teledyne Relays RF Relay GRF180-12

The series GRF180 relay is the first hermetically sealed, ultraminiature RF relay designed from inception for surface mount applications. This magnetic-latching relay features extremely low internal circuit losses for exceptional time and frequency domain response characteristics through and beyond the UHF spectrum and into the S band. The GRF180 features a unique ground shield that isolates and shields each lead to ensure excellent contact-to-contact and pole-to-pole isolation. This ground shield provides a ground interface that results in improved high-frequency performance as well as parametric repeatability. The GRF180 extends performance advantages over similar RF devices that simply offer formed leads for surface mounting. The GRF180 is robust to shock, vibration and temperature extremes for use in space applications and other demanding environments. It is engineered for use in RF attenuators, RF switch matrices, automated test equipment, spacecraft and other applications that require dependable high-frequency signal fidelity and performance. Its low profile and 0.100"" grid spaced terminals make the GRF180 ideal for applications where extreme packaging density and/or lose PC board spacing are required.
