RFK-6396 high speed SPDT RF switching relay with SPDT auxiliary contact set
We have LARGE QUANTITIES of these excellent, very fast (4 milliseconds maximum… typically much faster!) RF relays for sale. These relays are an excellent choice for low-level RF switching, such as with the Greenstone VHC-1, Gigavac GH-1, Jennings RJ1A or Kilovac HC-1 in QSK applications.
The HI-G d’Italia relays have TWO sets of SPDT contacts. One set is for RF, the other set is for auxiliary switching and control applications (non-RF). These relays are supplied with 50 ohm RG-196A/U teflon coax and one SSMB male (snap on) and one SMB male (snap on) gold plated Mil-spec connector. One mating chassis mount SSMB and SMB female connector included with each relay. These relays were removed from brand new military equipment, and are fully guaranteed!
The RFK-6396 relays were made to a special military specification (denoted by the “6396” in the part number. While it is not possible to find out just what this additional specification was, it is safe to say that it was more performance in some way than the standard RFK series relay. The specifications for the standard RFK series are available, and are listed here:

- Coax interconnections, using RG-196A/U silver/Teflon coax
- 200 watts RF carry capability
