Overview

The G6K-2F-RF-DC5 is a compact surface-mount high-frequency relay designed to handle signals up to 1GHz. This DPDT (2 Form C) non-latching relay features a 5VDC coil and is optimized for low insertion loss and high isolation in RF signal paths. Its small footprint of 10.3mm x 6.9mm makes it suitable for high-density board layouts requiring signal switching.

Why Choose This Part

This relay offers a fast operate and release time of only 3ms, ensuring rapid signal path transitions. The gull-wing surface-mount terminals and small profile facilitate automated assembly while maintaining high frequency performance and a low power consumption of approximately 100mW.

Applications

RF Signal Routing
Switching between antenna paths or RF filters in communication hardware up to 1GHz.
Automated Test Equipment
Providing physical signal isolation and path selection in high-speed digital and RF test fixtures.
Measurement Instrumentation
Integrating into oscilloscopes and signal analyzers for input range selection and attenuator switching.
