Teledyne Relays introduces a new series of DPDT ultraminiature relays that deliver RF performance over a bandwidth from DC to 8GHz. The new RF312 exhibits high repeatability and is capable of transmitting signal integrity up to 12GBps data rates. The RF312 family of relays also exhibits excellent isolation between pole to pole.

The RF312 utilizes unique construction features including all resistive welding techniques and specific manufacturing techniques that provide excellent resistance to environmental extremes that contribute to its overall reliability. The uni-frame motor design provides highly magnetic efficiency as well as mechanical rigidity. Additionally, the use of minimum mass components and welded construction provide maximum resistance to shock and vibration.

Teledyne Relays uses advanced cleaning techniques and gold-plated precious metal alloy contacts to provide superior protection of internal cleanliness which ensures reliable switching and RF insertion loss repeatability. All RF312 relays are hermetically sealed to maintain the inert contact switching atmosphere.

The RF312 is designed for use in load-boards, attenuator, RF circuits and signal integrity applications. Its features include high resistance to electrostatic discharge (ESD); various ground pin configurations to improve case grounding and high isolation between control and signal paths.

The new RF312 relays are available with through-hole or surface-mounted configurations with the leads available with pre-soldered coating upon request. The RF312 relays are available in coil voltages of 5 and 12 Vdc.

The RF312 measures .370 inches (9.4 mm) in diameter and .325 inches (8.26) in height (excluding leads). It weighs 0.09 oz. (2.55g).

The RF312 relay is RoHS compliant.
