NEW Teledyne Relays CCR-33k Coaxial Switch Operates From DC to 33.5 GHZ

HAWTHORNE, Calif. (November 20, 2006) - Teledyne Relays introduced its new Series CCR 33K miniature coaxial switch, designed for frequencies from DC to 33.5 GHz.

The latching single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) electromechanical switch offers an insertion loss repeatability of ±0.1dB across the full bandwidth. On narrow band applications, the insertion loss repeatability can be as good as ±0.05dB with ultra low PIM (Passive Intermodulation). Switch life is characterized at 5 million cycles.

The CCR-33K is designed to switch a microwave signal from a common input to either of two outputs. The characteristic impedance is 50 Ohms. The switches are small with connector spacing compatible with K connectors.

The CCR-33K in the standard body width measures 1.50 x .52 x .1.30 inches (38.1 x 13.21 x 33.02 mm) and weighs 1.65 ounce (46.78g). An optional version with a narrow body measures 1.34 inches (30.04 mm) wide. TTL versions in both widths measure 1.80 inches (45.72 mm) tall. The switch is RoHS compliant.

The CCR-33K is priced at $138 each in quantities of 250 units. Lead time for delivery is eight weeks.
