The CCS-37 Failsafe Switch is a long-life high performance transfer switch designed for use in 50
Ohms coaxial transmission lines operating over frequencies ranging from DC to 18 GHz. The
switch is designed for minimum size compatible with SMA connector spacing.
The failsafe switches on this page are provided with a spring operated actuator which is particularly
desirable in applications where the switch is connected to one position (normally closed) most of
the time and only periodically switched to the alternate position. In this type of application, holding
power is required only when operating in the
alternate position. Also, switching circuitry is
simplified, since only one DC circuit is required.
