SPnT Coaxial Subminiature Switches DC to 6 GHz, DC to 26.5 GHz, DC to 40 GHz
R591 RADIALL coaxial subminiature switches have a typical operating life exceeding 25 million cycles. Excellent RF & repeatability
characteristics along with a guaranteed life of 10 million cycles make these switches ideal for Automated Test Equipment (ATE) and
other measurement applications. These miniature switches are also an excellent choice for Mil/Aero applications due to their small
size, light weight, as well as outstanding shock and vibration handling capabilities.
PART NUMBER SELECTION
(1) The “QLF” tradermark (quick lock formula®) standard applies to QMA and QN series and guarantees the full
intermateability between suppliers using this tradermark.Using QLF certified connectors also guarantees the
specified level of RF performances.
(2) Connector SMA2.9 is equivalent to “K Connector®”, registered trademark of Anritsu
(3) Available with “solder pins “ models only
(4) Polarity is not relevant to application for switches with TTL driver
(5) Suppression diodes are already included with TTL option

POWER RATING CHART
This graph is based on the following conditions :
- Ambient temperature : + 25°C
- Sea level
- V.S.W.R. : 1 and cold switching
DERATING FACTOR VERSUS V.S.W.R.
The average power input must be reduced for load V.S.W.R. above 1.
