Bird Electronic Corporation 8745 Load, Water Cooled, 20 kW, 3-1/8 Flanged, 1 kHz to 900 MHz
The Bird 8745 is a water-cooled RF coaxial load designed to safely dissipate up to 20 kW of continuous power. It features a 3-1/8 inch EIA flanged connector and operates over a frequency range of 1 kHz to 900 MHz. The 8745 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 focus on maintaining low VSWR across its operating range.
