MASW-011098-TR0500

RF Switches Overview

The MASW-011098-TR0500 is a high-power SPDT PIN diode switch designed for Ka-band applications. It operates within a frequency range of 26 GHz to 40 GHz. The device features a reflective topology and provides 39 dB isolation. It is housed in a 5x5 mm laminate package with a QFN footprint. The component is surface-mountable and available in tape and reel packaging.

RF Switches Feature Summary

• High power handling capability suitable for demanding RF environments
• Broadband operation across the 26 to 40 GHz spectrum
• Reflective SPDT topology ensuring high linearity performance

RF Switches Applications

• 5G infrastructure systems
• Ka-band communication links
• Point-to-point microwave radios

RF Switches Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix TR0500 confirms the tape and reel packaging format required for automated assembly processes. Ensure the base part number MASW-011098 matches the intended 5x5 mm laminate package dimensions. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation before integration into final assemblies.

RF Switches Selection Notes

Select this component when high power handling and broadband Ka-band performance are required. The reflective topology suits applications where signal reflection management is acceptable. The 5x5 mm laminate package offers a compact solution for space-constrained designs compared to larger QFN footprints found in other series members.

RF Switches Part Context

This model belongs to MACOM's packaged high-power SPDT PIN switch family. It shares functional similarities with other broadband switches but is distinguished by its specific 26-40 GHz frequency coverage and 5x5 mm laminate construction. It serves as a specialized solution for high-frequency, high-linearity switching requirements in modern wireless infrastructure.

RF Switches Replacement Considerations

The MASW-011040-TR0500 is a related variant but utilizes a different 9x9 mm HQFN package. Direct pin-to-pin replacement is not feasible due to the physical footprint difference between the 5x5 mm laminate and the larger HQFN housing.
