Dow-Key Microwave (a subsidiary of Dover Corp., NYSE:DOV) is an ISO 9001 certified manufacturer of electromechanical coaxial and waveguide switches, Switch Matrices, Integrated Modular Assemblies, and related passive components. Its newest product is a 26.5 GHz CANbus-Controlled SP6T Smart Switch with internal 50 Ω termination.
The switch utilizes the latest generation of Microcontrollers that incorporate a CANBus interface fully compliant with V2.0A and V2.0B standards. DC characteristics include 22-26 VDC (24 VDC nominal). Operating current is 250 mA typical @ 20ºC. Equipped with a latching actuator, this device switches in 15 ms (max).
This Smart Multi-Position Switch targets the ATE market and provides excellent insertion loss repeatability (±0.05 dB up to 9 GHz). Its CANbus architecture integrates easily into large switching systems that use more than 130 switches in one network, reducing complex programming and integration time.
