Enquire About This Product
Overview
The BCR 0040-4000 is a coaxial single-pole double-throw (SPDT) relay built to switch high RF power. It routes one input to either of two outputs, so an amplifier can be switched between two antennas, between an antenna and a dummy load, or between two test paths without anyone reconnecting cables.
It handles up to 4000W CW from DC to 4GHz with 0.1dB maximum insertion loss, uses three 7-16 female connectors, and runs from a +12V DC supply, which makes it straightforward to drive from test automation software or an amplifier's control interface.
