Fujitsu Components releases the FTR-B3-RF relay, the ultra miniature high frequency relay. Fujitsu has given their FTR-B3 relay a new look by putting a metal case on the relay.

The new product is available at distributor Rutronik now.

The shield around the relay reduces the loss of RF signals and its effect on other components on the board. The metal “armour” of the relay protects the relay from unwanted signal radiation from outside.

The FTR-B3-RF is designed with high frequency characteristics up to 1 GHz (Impedance 50 Ohm) which makes the FTR-B3-RF the perfect solution for low signal switching applications such as measuring and medical equipment.

The FTR-B3-RF features a 2 Form C contact utilizing high reliable bifurcated contacts. The relay has surface mounted terminals and measures just 6.7 mm (height) and 97 mm² (mounting area). The relay offers RF switching ower of 3W at 1Ghz and RF carrying power of 1W at 1Ghz. The standard type of the FTR-B3-RF has a power consumption of 140mW (230mW at 24V), while the latching type offers a power consumption of 100 mW (120mW at 24V).

Target applications for the FTR-B3-RF are measuring, multiplex wireless,
data transmission, medical and radio equipment, digital service units for
ATM, general RF low signal switching and RF Attenuators.
