The Bird 8921SC13 is a high-performance RF termination load featuring an ultra-stable oil-dielectric design capable of handling 5 kW of power. It maintains an impressively low VSWR throughout its operating range from DC to 28 MHz, with even tighter control at the stability frequency of 13.56 MHz ± 10 kHz, where it exhibits less than 0.1 dB of VSWR shift. The unit includes "QC" Type LC (Female) connectors as standard, and an optional interlock thermoswitch for added safety measures, opening at 236°C (457°F). Built for rugged use, it functions within a wide temperature and altitude range, tolerates high humidity, and uses oil dielectric and convection currents for effective cooling. Encased in a durable black epoxy resin finish, the 8921SC13 is a robust solution ideal for applications requiring precise and consistent RF power management.
