Description
The AS214-92 is a medium-power IC FET SPDT switch in a low-
cost miniature SC-70 6-lead plastic package. The AS214-92
features low insertion loss and positive voltage operation with
very low DC power consumption. This general purpose switch
can be used in a variety of telecommunications applications.

NEW Skyworks offers lead (Pb)-free, RoHS (Restriction of

Hazardous Substances)-compliant packaging.
