46 Series

46 Series DPDT Switch
This DPDT switch is two SPDT relays (similar to the DowKey 164
Series) mounted together on a common plate with a single actuating
coil. The connectors are all opposite the mounting surface, allowing
easy access and flush-mount capability. With excellent RF performance,
this low cost dual relay is suitable for most general purpose switching
applications.
Typical applications for the 46 Series include:
• RF and Microwave Communications
• Dual-Monitor Video Switching
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging Systems
• RF and Video Switching
