Frequency:
The Type DX Coaxial Switches are designed for high average power
applications over a 0-6.5GHz frequency band. They use SC connectors with one inch center-to-center spacing.

0-6.5GHz
These switches utilize HCI (heat conducting dielectric) to increase the
average power handling capabilities. Test results on a large number of
components employing HCI have consistently indicated a CW power
rating 2.5 times greater than obtainable with conventional low-loss
dielectric materials.
These switches are available in latching or failsafe models, with or
without indicating switches.
The latching models use DowKey’s Type D switch magnetic latching
actuator featuring a balanced rotating armature.
The failsafe models use DowKey’s Type D switch failsafe actuator featuring dual holding power...a permanent magnet and electromagnet.
This switch is part of a DowKey family of switches. Other types in this
family are referenced below.

At 10MHz, typical values are:
Isolation: 100dB
VSWR: 1.05:1
Insertion Loss: 0.05dB
Because of the inherently good RF
performance at lower frequencies, this product line is not tested
below 2GHz except upon request.
