The MS-156C3 is an ultra-small, low-profile subminiature coaxial switch designed for circuit inspection in high-frequency wireless devices. It features a height of 1.35 mm and a footprint of 2.3 mm x 2.3 mm, supporting high-density PCB mounting. The switch operates across a wide frequency range from DC to 11 GHz with low insertion loss. In its unmated state, the internal switch connects the common contact to the antenna contact; upon mating with a plug, the signal path is diverted to the plug circuit. It is primarily used in smartphones, wearables, and other mobile wireless communication systems for testing and diagnostics.
