Compact RF switch eases device testing
Device measures only 2.5 x 2.5 x 1.4mm and is designed to reliably test microwave frequencies throughout a product's development stage up to final production.
Murata has brought out a device it reckons is the world's smallest RF surface mount switch connector The MM8130-2600RB8 measures only 2.5 x 2.5 x 1.4mm and is designed to reliably test microwave frequencies throughout a product's development stage up to final production

Ferrite beads for miniature suppression
Miniature ferrite beads provide wide frequency range attenuation, typically from 30MHz to several hundred megahertz.
The small footprint is ideal for cellular phones, PDAs, GPS systems and measurement equipment.
The SWF series is also an excellent fit for advanced devices such as wireless local area networks (WLAN), WiMAX, ultrawideband (UWB), Bluetooth and Zigbee technologies.
In addition to its small sise, the new switch connector's test probes are compatible with the existing SWD series connectors.
There is therefore no need to change test probes when transitioning to the smaller SWF series, making it easier for engineers to incorporate the connector into designs.
Other key features of the switch connector include its wide operating frequency from DC to 6GHz, which covers all the popular bands, to excellent performance abilities: insertion loss is 0.1dB maximum to 3GHz and the connectors have high durability for engagement (100 cycles).
The SWF series is RoHS-compliant.
Murata also offers test probes, manual probes for test and evaluation and production probes for use in automated production lines.
