The Agilent Technologies 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.
