radio frequency reed relays

FRS12000 Series
Miniature Single RF Reed Relay
Offering outstanding RF performance for their size, the FRS12000 series can withstand RF voltages up to
3kV and carry RF currents of 6A at 30MHz. Utilising plastic and encapsulant materials with exceptional
RF and temperature characteristics, the FRS12000 Series RF Reed Relays feature in house manufactured
reedswitches, with copper plating and high vacuum much revered in the industry for their high power
performance and reliability.
Designed on a standard 0. 1" pin pitch (some variants available on 0.15"), the FRS12000 series can be
fully customised to your requirements, with options for open frame or encapsulated, magnetic screening,
coil voltages, and contact configuration. Crydom have also recently developed a 5kV version with contact
pins exiting the cover for flying lead connection. Contact Crydom for details.
Typical applications for the FRS12000 Series include antenna tuning units, as well as harmonic and co-site
filtering over the HF band.
