Teledyne Relays Announces New Non-Latching, SPDT RF Relays for
Both Through-Hole and Surface Mount Applications up to 18 GHz.
Milpitas, California - February 8, 2022 -
Teledyne Relays today announces new wide temperature range, hermetic relays
operating up to 18 GHz. The new
RF131 and
GRF131 single-pole double-throw (SPDT) models are non-latching, offering fail-safe
functionality. The new products expand rugged options available to key RF test and
telecommunications markets.
The RF131 and GRF131 non-latching models complement the widely respected equivalent
through-hole RF121 and surface mount GRF121 magnetic latching relays from Teledyne
Relays. With an operating temperature range from -55 to +85 °C, and glass-to-metal
hermetic seals throughout, the new electromechanical switches offer fail-safe functionality
up to 18 GHz and 40 Gbps data rates for the most challenging environments. The RF131
and GRF131 both come in an extended Centigrid® package with the heritage of Teledyne
Relay's miniature RF relays by incorporating a precision transmission line structure
in the internal construction of the contact system to ensure the best RF performance
with minimal insertion loss and high isolation between signal paths. Each relay
can be ordered with a 5 or 12 V rated coil and is designed with protection from
dust and contaminates contributing to a life expectancy up to 2 million cycles.
The RF131 is a through-hole mount version and can switch frequencies up to 12
GHz with 20 Gbps signal integrity. The RF131 is supplied with standard gold-plated
.75" leads and can also be ordered with solder or RoHS compliant solder-dipped leads.
The GRF131 features a unique ground shield to facilitate surface mounting and
to extend the frequency range when compared to through-hole solutions. This increases
the RF capability to 18 GHz and signal integrity to 40 Gbps.
"These relays are designed for use in RF attenuators, RF switch matrices, high
frequency spread spectrum radios, ATE, and other applications that require dependable
high frequency signal fidelity and performance," said Michael Palakian, Teledyne
Relays' Global Director of Sales & Marketing. "The low power consumption makes
them ideal for applications where power budget is restricted."
The new products are available to order now. More information can be found on
