TO-5 RF Relay - 732 Series
Teledyne's TO-5 DPDT relays have become one of the industry standards for low level switching from dry circuit to 1 Amp. Designed for use when close PCB spacing is required, the 732 series have a low coil power dissipation in an sub-miniature relay package.
With a low inter-contact capacitance and contact circuit losses, the 732 series of TO-5 relays are an excellent sub-miniature RF switch for frequencies well into the UHF spectrum (see datasheet for performance curves). In addition to the standard types there are the 732
D
relays which have an internal discrete silicon diode that provides coil transient suppression.
A typical RF application for the TO-5 relay is in hand held radio transceivers, the combined features of good RF performance, small size, low coil power dissipation and high reliability make it a preferred method of Transmit/Receive switching.
