Failsafe actuators operate at 12 and 24 volts, and resist sine vibration to mechanical shock, in frequency bands from VHF and UHF to K band.

IRVINE, Calif. – Pasternack, an Infinite Electronics brand in Irvine, Calif., is introducing the quartz fusion series of surface-mount electromechanical relay switches for a variety of RF and microwave applications.

The relay switches come in surface-mount package, and offers a frequency range to 26 GHz. Its capabilities extend from robust power handling, reaching up to 40 Watts during hot switching scenarios, to its oxidation-resistant gold-plated mounting surface, ensuring durability and long-term connection reliability.

Each unit has failsafe actuators to operate at 12 and 24 volts, and resists the effects of sine vibration to mechanical shock. It offers several frequency bands from VHF and UHF to K band, and has a life cycle rating of 5M.

The electromechanical devices deliver signal quality with its low insertion-loss rates, hovering around 0.2 decibels maximum, combined with high isolation levels exceeding 50 decibels. It has a swift average switching time of 5 milliseconds.
