Normally open SP3T-6T 18GHz coaxial switch

Chend du leader microwave (leader-mw)  Normally Open SP3T-6T 18GHz Coaxial Switch** is a high-performance RF component designed for seamless signal routing in demanding microwave and communication systems. As a Single Pole Triple Throw (SP3T-6T) switch, it features one common input port and three output paths, enabling dynamic signal distribution across multiple channels. Optimized for frequencies up to 18GHz, this switch is ideal for applications in telecommunications, radar systems, satellite communications, and advanced test/measurement setups. Its normally open (NO) configuration ensures that the default state disconnects the signal path, minimizing unintended signal leakage or interference when inactive.

Operating on a 12V DC power supply, the switch integrates easily into standard electronic systems while delivering reliable performance. Key features include low insertion loss and high isolation, ensuring minimal signal degradation and superior channel separation. The rugged coaxial design, often featuring gold-plated contacts and stainless-steel housing, guarantees durability and consistent performance in harsh environments, with a mechanical lifespan exceeding 1 million cycles

The SP3T-6T’s 50-ohm impedance ensures compatibility with most RF systems, reducing signal reflections. Its fast switching speed (typically <10 ms) makes it suitable for time-sensitive applications. Whether used in lab equipment, military systems, or commercial infrastructure, this switch combines precision, reliability, and ease of integration, making it a critical component for high-frequency signal management.
