Overview
INNOVACERA high-voltage vacuum relays are components for electronic and power systems used in airborne, mobile and marine communications, RF circuitry, antenna switching and high-voltage power supplies. Designed for operation in demanding applications, they provide controlled vacuum switching for contact protection and low RF loss.

Vacuum advantages

• High dielectric breakdown strength of vacuum.
• Fast recovery capability: up to 10 kV per millisecond.
• Inert contact environment preventing oxidation and contact degradation.

Relay types

• Clapper-type relays
• Diaphragm relays

Key applications

• RF and communication systems
  • Antenna coupling and tuning
  • Transmitter and receiver switching
  • Pulse-forming networks
  • Semiconductor wafer processing (e.g., vapor deposition)
  • Ion implantation systems
  • Radar, MRI and TWT power supplies
  • Security screening equipment
• Testing and instrumentation
  • High-voltage testing (HiPot and mega-ohm testing)
  • Cable and motor winding tests
  • ESD pulse-forming equipment
  • High-power laser systems
  • Transformer and ballast testing
  • Mass spectrometry and power supply assessments
