Type C Multi-Position
Coaxial Switches
(3 to 6 Position)
This RLC Electronics’ Basic Mid-Size Multi-Position Coaxial
Switch line provides up to 6 positions with extremely high
reliability, long life and outstanding electrical performance.
It features extremely low insertion loss and VSWR over the
entire frequency range, while maintaining high isolation.

To designate the switch desired use:
(1) “M” for Manual, “R” for Remote.
(5) “L” for latching cutthroat if desired
(2) “3C”, “4C”, “5C” or “6C” throw operation
(6) “TL” for TTL Driver if desired
(3) “A” for 115 Vac, “D” for 28 Vdc or “H” for 12 Vdc.
(7) “26” for the 26.5GHz option “40” for the 40GHz option
(4) “I” for indicators if desired.
Example: SR-6C-D-I-L is a remote, 6 position, 28 Vdc; with indicators, latching cutthroat switch.
