Teledyne e2v HiRel Announces New L-band Surface Mount Switch for High Power Military Applications
Teledyne e2v HiRel has launched a new single-pole, double-throw multi-chip module (MCM) switch, enhancing RF and thermal performance. The TDSW002040X-198 hybrid exhibits low insertion loss and high power handling, capable of supporting up to +56 dBm (400 W) continuous wave power and +60 dBm (1 kW) peak RF power at 125 °C. Designed for military communications, the switch is compact (10.1 mm x 6.2 mm x 2.5 mm) and allows for flexible port assignments. The product is available for US customers now, addressing immediate market demands.

The small form factor (10.1 mm x 6.2 mm x 2.5 mm) offers world class power handling, low insertion loss, and superior intermodulation performance exceeding all competitive technologies. The TDSW002040X-198 symmetrical switch is tailored to minimize Transmit-to-Antenna loss while maximizing Transmit-to-Receive isolation and to enable maximum flexibility as the designer can assign either port as Transmit Port and the other as the Receive Port.
The extremely low thermal resistance of the hybrid assembly permits reliably handling up to +56 dBm (400 W) CW power and up to +60 dBm (1 kW) peak RF incident power while operating at an ambient of 125 °C.
“Our military customers requested this part because their previous supplier exited the market, leaving them without a solution,” said Mont Taylor, VP of Business Development at Teledyne HiRel. “The TDSW002040 is surprisingly small given the very high power-handling it is capable of, making it perfect for modern military communications transmit/receive switching.”
Devices are available for ordering and shipment today. They are shipped from our Product Distribution Center, in Milpitas, California, and are available to US customers only.
