Bird Electronic Corporation 8738A Load, Water Cooled, 10 kW, 3-1/8 Flanged, 1 kHz to 1GHz
The Bird 8738A is a water-cooled RF coaxial load designed to safely dissipate up to 10 kW of continuous power. It features a 3-1/8 inch EIA flanged connector and operates over a frequency range of 1 kHz to 1 GHz. The 8738A is engineered for use in high-power transmitter applications, providing a reliable means to terminate RF energy while minimizing reflected power. Its water-cooling system ensures efficient heat dissipation, making it suitable for demanding environments where air-cooled loads may not suffice. The unit is constructed for durability and long service life, with a low VSWR to ensure minimal signal reflection. The 8738A is ideal for broadcast, industrial, and laboratory applications requiring high-power RF termination.
