Combining its long history of innovative relay products with its MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical System) expertise, Omron has developed a new RF-MEMS Switch to meet the requirements of the ATE (Automatic Test Equipment) market. Using an electrostatic drive mechanism, the switch combines the desirable HF characteristics of electromechanical relays with a life expectancy generally only found in solid state relays.

Highly reliable, Omron's RF MEMS Switch is small in size, consumes low power yet possesses excellent frequency charactistics.

• Possess all advantages of electromechanical relays (initial CR of 1.0 Ohms).
• Dimensions: 5.2 x 3.0 x 1.8mm / LGA 12
• Two contact sets with independent operation of the signal paths (SPDT / DPST - NO).
• Life Expectancy Rating: 100 Million Operations
• Testing beyond 1 Billion Operations
• Low Power consumption: 10µW max
• Excellent frequency characteristics up to a rated bandwidth of 8 GHz, 10 GHz typical.
• High linearity (low noise distortion)
• Very low insertion loss (1dB)
• High isolation (30dB)
• High-speed operation (100µs max)
• RoHS Compliant
