SIMRC - 8 x 2 Matrix 2-Pole
1030-R-8-2-2-5/1D
Our small format embedded switching (SIM relay) cards offer a choice of switching configurations using low cost industry standard SIM connectors. They free the designer from the detail of routing complex switching circuits, you may select from a wide range of cards using the built in RS-232 and I2C interfaces. These low-cost embedded switching cards are intended to be mounted on to a simple motherboard. They may be used to construct very high density switching networks. SIM based switching cards also allow for very simple in-field maintenance.

PXI/PXIe Microwave Relay, Dual SPDT, 110 GHz, 50 Ω, SMA-1.0, External Termination, Latching
42-781A-922-LA
Externally terminated switches have the advantage that the terminations can be removed and replaced with higher power RF loads. This also allows alternative configurations such as terminated 4-port bypass (1 termination removed) and 5-port DP3T (both terminations removed). See the datasheet for diagrams of these configurations.

PXI/PXIe RF Matrix, Dual 2x2, 2.5GHz, 50Ω, SMB
42-877A-002
The 40-877A-002 (PXI) and 42-877A-002 (PXIe) are 50Ω 2x2 RF matrices with 2 banks in a single slot. Loop-thru connections are provided on both the X and Y axis allowing the attachment of terminations for unused signals or for expansion to other matrices. Larger matrices are easily built with varied X and Y dimensions, such as 8x2 and 4x4 using multiple 40/42-877A modules. The module has low insertion loss and VSWR through the use of modern RF relay technology at an affordable cost.

PXI Quad 4 to 1 RF Multiplexer 3GHz 50 Ohm SMB
40-872-004
The 40-872-004 is a 50 Ohm 4 to 1 RF MUX available with 4 banks in a single PXI slot. It exhibits low insertion loss and VSWR through the use of modern RF relay technology at an affordable cost. Each MUX has been carefully designed to ensure excellent and repeatable RF characteristics to frequencies of 3GHz with each path having a nominally equal insertion loss. The injection of noise and unwanted signals into the signal paths of the 40-872 has been minimized by careful attention to the mechanical and electrical design.
