Integrated Fine Matchers Added to ERI CL Series Liquid Cooled UHF RF Loads

Chandler, Indiana – April 1, 2019 – Electronics Research, Inc. introduced its new CL Series liquid cooled RF loads at NABSHOW2018. New for this year is the addition of a new model, which adds an integrated UHF Fine Matcher for all sizes available for this product family. These models also include an integrated adjustable directional coupler at the load input as well. The loads are available in 3-1/8-inch (Model CL313), 4-1/16-inch (Model CL413) or 6-1/8-inch (Model CL613) swivel flange, female inputs. This family of liquid cooled UHF coaxial loads offer a proven design for handling high RF power at low cost. The loads employ a solution of antifreeze and water as both coolant and resistive material. The power dissipated by the load heats the solution and is removed by the constant flow. The loads are 50-inches in length, including the fine matcher, to save space and are constructed from Aluminum and Stainless Steel and are very light weight, the 6-1/8-inch load weighs less than 25 pounds.
