136C
Overview
The 136C feature: The sensitive 136C Centigrid® relay is an ultraminiature, hermetically sealed, armature relay capable of being directly driven by most IC logic families. Its .100” grid spaced terminals, which preclude the need for spreader pads, make it ideal for applications where extreme packaging density and/or close PC board spacing are required.
- All welded construction.
- Advanced cleaning techniques provide maximum assurance of internal cleanliness.
- Unique uni-frame design providing high magnetic efficiency and mechanical rigidity.
- High force/mass ratios for resistance to shock and vibration.
- Precious metal alloy contact material with gold plating assures excellent high current and dry circuit switching capabilities.
- Low operating power By virtue of its inherently low intercontact capacitance and contact circuit losses, the 136C relay has proven to be an excellent ultraminiature RF switch for frequency ranges well into the UHF spectrum. A typical RF application for this Centigrid® relay is in handheld radio transceivers, wherein the combined features of good RF performance, small size, low coil power dissipation and high reliability make it a preferred method of Transmit-Receive switching. The Series 136C utilizes an internal silicon diode for coil suppression, a Zener diode to protect the MOSFET gate input, and an N-channel enhancement mode MOSFET chip, which enables direct relay interfac
