Procurement Notes
Verify the specific manufacturer designation, as sources list both Panasonic Electric Works and Panasonic Industry. Confirm the package style matches the application requirements, noting descriptions vary between module pin contacts and bulk packaging. Ensure the latching function with indicator aligns with system design needs before procurement.
Selection Notes
Select this component for applications requiring stable RF switching at frequencies up to 18 GHz. The 50 Ohm impedance compatibility makes it suitable for standard RF circuits. Consider the latching nature for power efficiency, as it maintains state without continuous coil power. Verify thermal limits against the operating environment.
Part Context
This part belongs to the ARD series of coaxial switches from Panasonic Industrial Devices. These components are engineered for precision RF applications where low insertion loss and high isolation are critical. The series supports various configurations tailored for microwave and high-speed data transmission environments.
Replacement Considerations
Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Cross-reference with other Panasonic ARD series models or equivalent high-frequency coaxial switches from other manufacturers if availability is an issue.
