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.
