TELEDYNE RELAYS ULTRAMINIATURE MAGNETIC LATCHING TO-5 RELAYS SPDT DC TO C BAND SERIES RF341 DESCRIPTION The RF341 series relay is an ultraminiature, hermetically sealed, magnetic latching relay featuring extremely low intercontact capacitance for exceptional RF performance well into the C band. It’s low profile and small size make it ideal for for applications where extreme packaging density and/or close PC board spacing are required. Due to its minimal mass, many relays may be used to configure replacements for bulkier switching solutions at a substantial savings in weight The basic operating mechanism is similar to the TO-5 422 series relay. In addition, the RF341 design has been optimized by increasing the distance between the set/reset contacts. This design improvement make these unique relays the perfect choice for use in RF attenuators, RF switching matrices and other RF applications requiring high isolation, low insertion loss and low VSWR. The following unique construction features and manufacturing techniques provide overall high reliability and excellent resistance to environmental extremes: • Minimum mass components and welded construction provide maximum resistance to shock and vibration. • Uni-frame motor design provides high magnetic efficiency and mechanical rigidity. • Advanced cleaning techniques provide maximum assurance of internal cleanliness. • Gold plated precious metal contacts ensure reliable, low level switching. The RF341 relay is ideally suited for applications where power dissipation must be minimized. The relays can be operated with a short duration pulse. After the contacts have transferred, no external holding power is required. The magnetic latching feature of the RF341 series provides a non volatile memory capability since the relays will not reset upon removal of coil power. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION Energizing Coil B produces a magnetic field opposing the holding PERMANENT MAGNET MAGNETIC CIRCUIT A SOFT IRON CORE A N MAGNETIC CIRCUIT B SOFT IRON FRAME Circuit B. As this net holding force COIL B COIL A decreases, the attractive force in the SOFT IRON air gap of Circuit A, which also results ARMATURE STATIONARY CONTACT from the flux of the permanent MOVING CONTACT magnet, becomes great enough to break the armature free of Core B and snap it in position against Core A. The armature then remains in this position upon removal of power from Coil B, but will snap back to position B upon energizing Coil A. Since operation depends upon cancellation of a magnetic field, it is necessary to apply the correct polarity to the relay coils as indicated on the relay schematic. When latching relays are installed in equipment, the latch and reset coils should not be pulsed simultaneously. Coils should not be pulsed with less than the nominal coil voltage and the pulse width should be a minimum of three times the specified operate time of the relay. If these conditions are not observed, It is possible for the relay to be in a magnetically neutral position. Should this happen however, pulsing one coil or the other, as prescribed, will bring the relay back into proper operating condition.
