Description
20 W SMA RF Dummy Load – DC–6 GHz, 50 Ω
The CentronRF 20 W SMA dummy load (RF termination) is a 50-ohm coaxial load rated for 20 watts of average input power from DC–6 GHz, with VSWR ≤1.2. It turns your transmitter’s output into heat instead of radiating it, so you can test, tune and align equipment without going on air or risking damage to the final amplifier.
It is a good fit for testing handheld and mobile radios, small cells, repeaters and amplifier stages. The precision SMA connector suits lab benches, PCB test points, microwave modules, SDRs and compact RF assemblies where space is tight.

FAQ
What is an RF dummy load used for?
A dummy load replaces the antenna during testing. It presents a clean 50 Ω load to the transmitter and absorbs the power, so you can adjust and measure the radio without transmitting a signal.
Is a 20 W load right for my transmitter?
Choose a load rated at or above your transmitter’s maximum output power. This load is rated for 20 W average power from DC–6 GHz.
