Mini-Circuits MSP8TA-12D+ SP8T Switch
Mini-Circuits MSP8TA-12D+ SP8T Switch is an ultra-reliable, rugged-duty absorptive fail-safe switch designed in a break-before-make configuration. This switch features a patented design comprising very few frictionless moving parts, enabling repeatable, optimal performance. The MSP8TA-12D+ SP8T switch is powered by +24VDC and provides a typical switching speed of 20 milliseconds, an insertion loss of 0.4dB, and a high isolation of 90dB. This switch prevents interference from unwanted signals, ensuring signal integrity and test accuracy. The MSP8TA-12D+ SP8T switch is +RoHS-compliant and operates with an operating temperature range of -15°C to +45°C. Typical applications include Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) and redundancy switching for microwave radio.
