Ordering information

Example configuration:

A test system is being built that requires the following Microwave Switching:

•(qty 2) Agilent 87206B SP6T Switches

•(qty 8) Agilent N1810UL SPDT Switches

Select the quantity of distribu- tion boards for the required switches using the ordering info below:

•Qty 2 Y1152A Distribution boards to control qty 2 87206B switches.

•Qty 1 Y1150A Distribution board to control qty 8 N1810UL switches.

Notice that each Y1152A can also drive two N181x switches. Therefore if you only needed to drive 4 N1810 switches, then you could have controlled those switches via the Y1152A distribution boards already selected.

Here is the final recommended configuration:

•(qty 2) 87206B DC-20 GHz SP6T Switches

•(qty 8) N1810UL DC-20 GHz SPDT Switches

•(qty 1) L4445A Switch/Attenuator Driver (when ordering the L4445A, the 34945EXT is automatically added for controlling switches)

•(qty 2) Y1152A Distribution Boards

•(qty1) Y1150A Distribution Board

•Either build own cables using off-the-shelf parts, or order qty 1 Y1159A 16-to-16 pin connect kit (supplies for 2 cables) and qty 2 Y1157A 9-to-10 pin cable kit (supplies for 4 cables).

We recommend that the switch be ordered with options for

24 V coils, position indicators, and socket connectors. Since

24 V latching relays are speci- fied, there is no need for an external power supply. The L4445A instrument can provide power for a single 34945EXT. Easy-to-build ribbon cables can be built to interface each of the switches to the Y1150A and Y1152A distribution boards.
