RF & MICROWAVE SERIES MAGNETIC-LATCHING, BROADBAND RF RELAYS SPDT RF341 The RF341 series relay is an ultraminiature, hermetically sealed, magnetic-latching relay featuring extremely low intercontact capacitance for exceptional RF performance well into the C band. It’s low profile and small size make it ideal for applications where extreme packaging density and/or close PC board spacing are required. Due to its minimal mass, many relays may be used to configure replacements for bulkier switching solutions at a substantial savings in weight. The following unique construction features and manufacturing techniques provide overall high reliability and excellent resistance to environmental extremes: • Minimum mass components and welded construction provide maximum resistance to shock and vibration. • Uni-frame motor design provides high magnetic efficiency and mechanical rigidity. • Advanced cleaning techniques provide maximum assurance of internal cleanliness. • Gold-plated precious metal contacts ensure reliable, lowlevel switching. The basic operating mechanism is similar to the TO-5 422 series relay. In addition, the RF341 design has been optimized by increasing the distance between the set/reset contacts. This design improvement make these unique relays the perfect choice for use in RF attenuators, RF switching matrices and other RF applications requiring high isolation, low insertion loss and low VSWR. The RF341 relay is ideally suited for applications where power dissipation must be minimized. The relays can be operated with a short duration pulse. After the contacts have transferred, no external holding power is required. The magnetic latching feature of the RF341 series provides a nonvolatile memory capability since the relays will not reset upon removal of coil power. DESCRIPTION ENVIRONMENTAL AND PHYSICAL SPECIFICATIONS PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION Energizing Coil B produces a magnetic field opposing the magnetic field of the permanent magnet in Circuit B. As the net holding force decreases, the attractive force in the air gap of Circuit A, which also results from the magnetic field of the permanent magnet, becomes great enough to break the armature free of Core B, and snap it into a closed position against Core A. The armature remains in this position upon removal of power from Coil B, but will snap back into position B upon energizing Coil A. Since operation depends upon cancellation of a magnetic field, it is necessary to apply the correct polarity to the relay coils as indicated on the relay schematic.

(2.52g) max. SOFT IRON ARMATURE When latching relays are installed in equipment, the latch and reset coils should not be pulsed simultaneously. Coils should not be pulsed with less than rated coil voltage and the pulse width should be a minimum of three times the specified operate time of the relay. If these conditions are not followed, it is possible for the relay to be in the magnetic neutral position. Should this happen, however, pulsing one coil or the other, as prescribed, will bring the relay back into proper operating condition. ©2003 TELEDYNE RELAYS SPECIFICATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE www.teledynerelays.com RF341 Page 1 RF341/1203/Q1 RF & MICROWAVE SERIES RF341 TYPICAL RF CHARACTERISTICS INSERTION LOSS (RF Note 1) –0.00 INSERTION LOSS IN dB –0.25 –0.50 –0.75 –1.00 –1.25 –1.50 –1.75 –2.00 –2.25 –2.50 0 500 1,000 1,500 2,000 2,500 3,000 3,500 Frequency (MHz) 4,000 4,500 5,000 5,500 6,000 1,000 1,500 2,000 2,500 3,000 3,500 Frequency (MHz) 4,000 4,500 5,000 5,500 6,000 2,500 3,000 3,500 Frequency (MHz) 4,000 4,500 5,000 5,500 6,000 VSWR 1.50 1.45 1.40 1.35 1.30 1.25 1.20 1.15 1.10 1.05 1.00 0 500 ISOLATION IN dB ISOLATION (RF Note 2) 0 –5 –10 –15 –20 –25 –30 –35 –40 –45 –50 –55 –60 –65 –70 0 500 1,000 1,500 2,000 RF NOTES 1.
