Bird Electronic Corporation 8731 Load, Water Cooled, 10 kW, 3-1/8 Flanged, 1 kHz to 1GHz
The Bird 8731 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 8731 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 solutions may not suffice. The load is constructed with durable materials to ensure long service life and consistent performance. Bird's 8731 is widely used in broadcast, industrial, and laboratory settings where precise RF power handling and safety are critical.
