The ultraminiature GRF312 relay is designed to improve upon the
GRF300/GRF303 relay's high frequency performance. The GRF312
offers monotonic insertion loss to 8 GHz. This improvement in
RF insertion loss over the frequency range makes these relays
highly suitable for use in attenuator and other RF circuits. The
GRF312 features:
ARMATURE
• High repeatability.
LOWER
STATIONARY
CONTACT
• Broader bandwidth.
• Metal enclosure for EMI shielding.
• High isolation between control and signal paths.
GROUND SHIELD
• Highly resistant to ESD.
