MW3 / MW4 / MW6 / MW3HP / MW4HP / MW6HP Series Relays

Microwave Switching, Hermetically Sealed, DPDT

Product Facts

I Excellent signal isolation,

stable insertion loss and

low VSWR.

I Provide repeatable RF

performance at frequencies

up to the 3 GHz. level

(MW3/MW3HP),

4 GHz. level (MW4/MW4HP)

& 6 GHz. level

(MW6/MW6HP).

I Standard versions for

applications ranging from

wireless communications to

precision high-speed test

equipment.

I High performance (HP)

versions for use under more

demanding environmental

conditions.

I Standard or sensitive (S)

coils are offered in a range

of DC input voltages.

I 2 Form C (DPDT) contacts

rated low-level to 1 amp.

I Extended mechanical life

expectancy of 10 million

opertions.

I Robust, hermetically sealed

enclosure.

These CII relays provide

microwave frequency

switching in a hermetically

sealed, subminiature

package.

Both standard and high

performance models are

offered in 3 GHz., 4 GHz.

and 6 GHz. types.

Standard models (MW3,

MW4 and MW6) perform in

temperature ranges from

-55°C to +85°C and

withstand 10G vibration and

30G shock.

High performance models

(MW3HP, MW4HP and

MW6HP) offer extended

temperature ratings of

-65°C to +125°C while

providing 30G’s vibration

and 100G’s shock (75G’s

for MW3) environmental

ratings.

All are available with either

standard or sensitive DC

coils. Nominal coil power is

367-500mW (model

dependent) for standard

coils and 169-250mW for

sensitive coils.

Signal isolation is 18dB at 6

GHz. (MW6/MW6HP), 18dB

at 4 GHz. (MW4/MW4HP),

and 22dB at 3 GHz.

(MW3/MW3HP).

Insertion loss is 0.38dB for

MW6/MW6HP, 0.27dB for

MW4/MW4HP, and 0.36dB

for MW3/MW3HP.

VSWR is a low 1.30:1 @

6GHz. for MW6/MW6HP,

1.36:1 @ 4GHz. for

MW4/MW4HP, and 1.24:1

@ 3GHz. for MW3/MW3HP.
