TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Wireless and mobile communication
• Cellular phone base station
• Amplifier switching
Digital broadcasting
• Broadcasting relay station
• Broadcasting equipment
Measuring instrument
All types of inspection equipment
Please inquire beforehand if you are
thinking of using this product in
applications that involve low level load or
high frequency of switching.

5. With termination type is added.
(SP6T)
Thanks to the addition of termination,
steady high frequency characteristics can
be maintained when contacts are either
open or closed and this contributes to
increase system reliability.

Factors such as heating of the connected connector influence the high frequency characteristics; therefore, please verify under actual conditions of use.
The 6GHz type only has the above characteristics up to 6GHz.
18 to 26.5GHz characteristics can be applied 26.5GHz type only (SPDT, Transfer)
The upper operation ambient temperature limit is the maximum temperature that can satisfy the coil temperature rise value. Refer to [6] AMBIENT ENVIRONMENT
