DESCRIPTION
The ultraminiature GRF100 and GRF103 relays are designed to provide a
practical surface-mount solution with improved RF signal repeatability over the
frequency range. GRF100 and GRF103 relays feature a unique ground shield
that isolates and shields each lead to ensure excellent contact-to-contact and
pole-to-pole isolation. This ground shield provides a ground interface that
results in improved high-frequency performance as well as parametric
repeatability. The GRF100 and GRF103 extend performance advantages over
similar RF devices that simply offer formed leads for surface mounting.
These relays are engineered for use in RF attenuator, RF switch matrices, ATE
and other applications that require dependable high frequency signal fidelity
and performance.
The GRF100 and GRF103 feature:
High repeatability
Broader bandwidth
Metal enclosure for EMI shielding
High isolation between control and signal paths
High resistance to ESD
The following unique construction features and manufacturing techniques
provide excellent robustness to environmental extremes and overall high
reliability:
Uniframe 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
