An innovative and original « micro-mechanical » design allows the R596 SMT micro-relay to bring together
the excellent reliability, RF and repeatability characteristics of coaxial switches with the miniature size and
low cost implementation of surface mount components. Very low return loss and insertion loss allow this
relay to be used in power applications, as well as in typical SMT relay applications such as RF attenuators,
RF matrices, spectrum analysers, and telecommunications.

(1) : taking account of the reduction of isolation due to coupling between PCB microstrip lines (see isolation dotted curve
above and measurement method below)
Measurement method
Calibration board
Relay soldered on Test Fixture (4)
Inputs/Outputs of the calibration board and test fixture are equipped with SMA type receptacle connectors, RADIALL part
number R125 510 000. The insertion loss of the relay itself is calculated by subtracting the insertion loss of the calibration
board to the insertion loss of the relay welded on the final board layout in accordance with the recommended implementation
shown above (see dimension details on following pages).
(4) : Relay soldered on Test Fixture available. To order, please use the suffix « T » (part number R596 - - - - -
T),
as explained in page 1.
