PERFORMANCE FEATURES
The ultraminiature RF100 and RF103 relays are designed to provide improved
RF signal repeatability over the frequency range. These relays are highly
suitable for use in attenuator and other RF circuits, the RF100 and RF103
feature:
High repeatability.
Broader bandwidth.
Metal enclosure for EMI shielding.
Ground pin option to improve case grounding.
High isolation between control and signal paths.
Highly resistant to ESD.
CONSTRUCTION FEATURES
The following unique construction features and manufacturing techniques
provide excellent resistance to environmental extremes and overall high
reliability.
Uni-frame motor design provides high magnetic efficiency and mechanical
rigidity.
Minimum mass components and welded construction provide maximum
resistance to shock and vibration.
Advanced cleaning techniques provide maximum assurance of internal
cleanliness.
Gold-plated precious metal alloy contacts ensure reliable switching.
Hermetically sealed.
Solderable leads.
