Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and manufacturer documentation before procurement to ensure compatibility with system requirements. Confirm that the operating conditions, particularly heat generation from connectors, do not adversely affect connection usability as noted in official remarks. Ensure the supply voltage matches the 4.5 VDC specification exactly to prevent damage or malfunction.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a SPDT coaxial switch is required for frequencies up to 26.5 GHz. Consider the 4.5 VDC coil voltage requirement for power supply design. The -55°C to 85°C operating range suits various environmental conditions. Verify impedance matching at 50 Ohms for the specific application circuit to ensure optimal signal integrity and minimal reflection.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ARD series of coaxial switches from Panasonic Electric Works. These components are engineered for RF and microwave applications where reliable signal switching is critical.
