Xtra Long Life SP4T Switch 50Ω MSP4TA-18-12+ DC to 18 GHz, 12 Volt, Absorptive The Big Deal • • • • • Extra long life - 10 million cycles Low insertion loss, 0.2 dB High isolation, 90 dB Absorptive Reliable sleep mode switching CASE STYLE: HJ1768 Product Overview Mini-Circuits’ MSP4TA-18-12+ is an ultra-reliable, rugged-duty absorptive fail-safe SP4T switch designed in breakbefore-make configuration offering an Ultra long switching life. Powered by +12VDC, the device has a typical switching speed of 20 milliseconds, insertion loss of 0.2 dB and high isolation of 90 dB. The MSP4TA-18-12+ is suitable for use across a wide range of applications, including switching for automated test equipment and redundancy switching. Key Features Feature Advantages Extra long service life Exceptionally long service life improves system reliability and reduces the need to replace switches often, making it ideal for automatic test systems. High isolation, 90 dB typ. Prevents interference from unwanted signals, ensuring signal integrity and accuracy of testing. Reliable sleep-mode switching Offers dependable performance even after being set at a fixed position for prolonged periods. Highly-reliable sleep mode switching averts failures due to “wake up,” making it suitable for automatic testing as well as redundancy switching applications. High repeatability between switching cycles High repeatability of insertion loss between switching cycles ensures reliable performance critical for automated testing and other measurement applications.
