Commercial Normally Open Multi-throw, DC-12GHz
Elite Normally Open Multi-throw, DC-12GHz
The CCS-18/CS-18 is a broadband multi-position coaxial switch designed to switch RF signals from one
input port to any one of 3 through 8 output ports. It is readily adapted to any 50 Ohms transmission line
system. The standard actuator gives individual solenoid control of each position and when de-energized,
all positions are open. Standard actuator voltage is 28 VDC. The primary advantage of this switch over
the miniature versions shown on previous pages is the higher power handling capability.
