• High-frequency circuit switching applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version (ARD22012(1).pdf or ARD22012(2).pdf) to ensure compatibility with your design requirements. Confirm that the 12V supply and 50 Ohm impedance align with your system architecture. Check the operating temperature range of -55°C to 85°C against your environmental conditions. Ensure the module package style fits your PCB layout constraints.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an 18 GHz RF switch is required. The 12V drive voltage and 1,100 mW power rating define its operational limits. Consider the transfer contact type if signal inversion or common terminal switching is needed. Verify the 50 Ohm impedance matches your transmission line characteristics. The wide temperature range suits harsh environments.
