Data Sheets

Product Description

 

The Keysight Technologies, Inc. 8761A and 8761B are single-pole, double-throw coaxial switches with excellent electrical and mechanical characteristics for 50-ohm transmission systems operating from dc to 18 GHz. Both switches feature broadband operation, long life, low SWR, excellent repeatability, and magnetic latching solenoids. The 8761A and 8761B switches are small and lightweight, making them ideal for applications where space is limited. Because of their versatility and excellent electrical performance, they are well suited for automated testing and systems applications. The A version is for 12 to 15 VDC operation, and the B version uses 24 to 30 VDC solenoid drive voltage.

The Keysight 8761A/B Series can be custom configured with any combination of Type-N, SMA, and precision 7-mm connectors, thus enabling the user to “custom design” a connector arrangement and eliminate the need for connector adapters.
