I cannot give you a formal number from Bird but I have used dozens of
these for over 30 years for tempest test applications. It would not be
uncommon for a technician in our lab to use one of these switches at
least 100 times a day, year after year, decade after decade w/o any
issues. We would as a matter of routine maintenance spray the contacts
with contact cleaner and verify their I.L. in all positions. They are
_extremely_ robust. I use several for my own RF applications here at home.

Anyone know the center contact in the movable part wears out after many
mating cycles? I would use one of these to change antennas daily, and
multiple times a day. Not sure of its design purpose and if this is
'abuse'.
Thanks!
