## Function

The L-3 / Narda / Miteq 085-B137-A3C-4B2 is a **Standard Custom Electro-Mechanical Switch** with the following key configuration features:
- **Switch Series:** SP8T (Single Pole, Eight Throw)
- **Actuation:** Latching
- **Option 1:** 50 Ohm terminations on unused ports
- **Option 3:** Suppression diodes included
- **Option 7:** Self de-energizing circuitry (allowing the switch to maintain position without continuous power)
- **RF Connectors:** SMA connectors
- **Terminals:** Power connector/fast disconnect terminals, Sub Miniature D style ("Sub Min. D")
- **Operating voltage:** 24 V DC
- **Frequency range:** DC to 18 GHz
- **Polarity:** Common minus
- **Mounting:** Flanged package

This configuration is a typical multiposition RF electro-mechanical switch designed for applications up to 18 GHz with careful inclusion of protection and performance features such as suppression diodes and 50-ohm terminations to minimize signal reflections on unused ports. The latching actuation combined with self de-energizing circuitry enables the switch to hold contact position without continuous coil power, improving efficiency and reducing heat.

Additional details about the SP8T series switches from Narda-MITEQ confirm they are bi-directional, have interchangeable input/output ports, are available with various terminations and options including suppression diodes and self de-energizing circuitry, and come with SMA RF connectors and Sub Miniature D power connectors.

This custom switch fits specialized RF systems requiring robust switching up to microwave frequencies, where high reliability and flexibility in control and termination are crucial.
