The RJ relay from Matsushita Electric Works is an alternative to a TO-5 style device for high-frequency switching applications. The RJ relay is capable of switching signals of up to 5GHz with its 2 Form C contacts. The RJ relay is based on a 50ohm impedance and returns impressive figures for isolation (minimum 35dB), insertion loss (maximum 0.5dB) and has a VSWR value of less than 1.25, all at 5GHz.
Typical applications can be found in the instrumentation and measurement industries covering products like spectrum analysers, oscilloscopes, medical instrumentation and attenuation circuits.
The RJ relay is also suitable for use in any industry where microwave communication may be required.
The RJ relay is available with both mono-stable and latching coil options at all the popular coil voltages from 3 to 24V DC.
Measuring just 14 x 9 x 8.2mm, this small device is available in SMD and through-hole options, both in a fully sealed construction and with ambient characteristics from -30 to +70C.
