Superior Designs
  • We use Gold Wire and Gold Plated leads which offer lower loss than other types of construction.
  • For challenging system requirements demanding fast switching, Spectrum Control offers GaAs FET switches exhibiting switching speeds as low as 6 nse.
Kovar Packaging
  • Our Kovar product housings offer durability and resistance to shock and most severe environmental conditions.
  • Kovar also provides resistance to Microphonics to improve repeatable performance.
Flawless Performance
  • When you purchase a switch, whether GaAs or PIN Diode, SPST to SPST, the device should perform flawlessly.
  • We meet this requirement by incorporating 100% testing, hermetic sealing, and minimum 16 hour stabilization bake to 150°C.
Integrated Solutions
  • We cross most major manufacturer's standard catalog parts and also improve performance over their existing designs.
Customizable
  • All of our switches are fully customizable, including high power manual switches.
