I'm looking for good quality coax relays for use at the 1,5kW level. Some will be used only on 160M, most will be used on the HF bands. I may have a use for a few at the 200W level on 2M. Some will b

What about those doesn't thrill you? I assume you're looking for something reasonably inexpensive, that is, you're looking to repurpose a conventional DC-60Hz kind of power relay to RF. There's been

I've used dozens of $2 PC board power relays over the years in various antenna switching applications, and have never had a failure at >1300 watts and SWRs from 1:1 up to over 3:1. W2VJN reported sim

Jim, Check out the Tyco RTD 14012. Available in a 24v version as well. Has nice short contacts keeping the L low. Very tough. 73/jeff/ac0c www.ac0c.com alpha-charlie-zero-charlie I've used dozens of

It appears this work has been done and maybe done to death. But for those of us who (like me) are new, can you expand a little, and, particularly, give a couple of links? What I see below is someone

Jeff, Is there a web site showing how you or others have mounted, wired and used these relays to switch coaxes with UHF connectors? Thanks. Steve K8JQ _______________________________________________

I have a converted marine shipboard solid state kW amplifier that also uses a bunch of $2 PC board relays for band switching. I have never had any trouble with them even though the amplifier is over

Steve, My application is really coarse. There was a multi-rig switching unit featured in QST/QEX in the last year which had the relays mounted there. The same relay (under the shrack name) is used on

The challenge is that relays that worked 15 years ago may not be available today, or even if available, work today. Here's some notes from 2004 http://home.earthlink.net/~w6rmk/relay.htm ____________

These relays have to tolerate RF at the power and frequency run through them. They also have to provide isolation at that power and frequency when used in remote antenna switches. Even more so when t

Not if the overall switch is designed properly. If the switch is based on two relays per antenna and unused antennas "float" relay capacitance will cause coupling problems. However, if the switch use

When in doubt, an easy solution is to put two relays in series, as TopTen does in their A/B switches. But I've been using devices with these small power relays for 15 years, in SO2R in particular, an
