High Repeatability Ultraminiature broadband Attenuator Relays

HAWTHORNE, Calif. (November, 2008) - Teledyne Relays has introduced the RoHS Compliant Series GA152 family of highly repeatable, ultraminiature broadband attenuator relays for applications in 50 and 75 Ohm systems over a frequency range from DC to 5GHz.

The low profile and small grid footprint of the GA152 makes them ideal for use where packaging density is a prime consideration. The GA152 offers both a normally closed low-loss bypass path and, when energised, the relay provides an attenuated path. In the event of a loss of operating power, the relay defaults to the bypass path condition.

These single-section, switchable attenuator relays have an internal matched thin film attenuator pad in a "Pi" configuration. Available with a fixed 20dB attenuation value, with other fixed values ranging from 1 to 16dB available upon request.

GA152 relays feature gold-plated precious metal contacts which provide high repeatability (+/-0.1db), flat amplitude versus frequency response, excellent intermodulation performance and phase linearity. The design of the relay also gives high resistance to electrostatic discharge, high isolation between control and signal path, stable attenuation versus temperature and excellent mechanical rigidity with minimum mass components and welded construction for maximum resistance to shock and vibration.
