LBA Technology's vacuum contactors are the first new generation of RF power contactors in decades. These RF contactors respond to the needs of broadcast, communications, and industrial radio frequency users.

The VC-1 high reliability vacuum contactor system is designed for versatility.  One series permits a wide range of operating voltages, and can be configured at any time for 1PDT through 4PDT operation.  It goes well beyond the capabilities of many currently available mechanical contactors, but is a direct replacement in many broadcast applications up to 50,000 watts.

Some of the key features of the VC-1 relay system are:

• 25 million cycle life, no open contacts
• RF rated at 40A and 10 kV peak at 1 MHz
• Robust, corona-protected RF connections
• Easily switches 50,000 watts in a 50 ohm AM MW system
• Rated DC to 30 MHz
• Silent, vibration free switching
• Direct substitution for popular mechanical latching RF contactors
• Universal for 24, 110, 220 volts AC 50/60 Hz supply systems
• Modular SPDT units, permits up to 4PDT, remote locating of modules
• Includes interlocks and status lights

The VC-1 is priced competitively with other, less capable contactors, and units can be shipped immediately.
