PE42512A-X

Product Overview

PE42512A-X is a pSemi UltraCMOS RF switch variant associated with the PE42512 SP12T absorptive switch family. It is intended for broadband RF path selection in instrumentation, switched filter banks, multiport test systems and RF front-end routing where many signal paths must be selected from a single common port.

The manufacturer product table lists PE42512 with 9 kHz to 8 GHz operation, 32-lead QFN packaging, 2.3 V to 5.5 V supply range and sub-microsecond switching. For procurement, the A-X suffix should be matched against the exact tape/reel, finish and orderable-device requirements before approval.

Applications

PE42512A-X is suitable for RF instrumentation, matrix switching, antenna test equipment, broadband front-end routing, filter-bank selection and automated production test fixtures. The SP12T topology is useful when a compact solid-state switch must replace a bank of smaller SPDT or SP4T devices.

For redesign or second-source review, compare the exact PE42512A-X orderable suffix, 32L QFN footprint, control interface, isolation target, insertion-loss budget and RF power level with the existing equipment. Board layout should preserve controlled impedance and grounding around all RF ports.

Quality & Sourcing

Antrex Electronics can support PE42512A-X sourcing with stock availability checks, RFQ quotation, date code review, package confirmation and shipment arrangement. For RF switch purchasing, buyers can provide target quantity, acceptable date code, packaging preference, required frequency range, switch topology and inspection requirements for faster quotation support.

For quality control, Antrex Electronics can help arrange product photos, label review, visual inspection and third-party testing support when required. OEMs, EMS providers, RF module manufacturers, repair teams and electronic component buyers are welcome to send BOM lists or hard-to-find RF switch requests for sourcing assistance.
