Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version from Panasonic Electric Works to confirm mechanical dimensions and electrical tolerances. Ensure compatibility with 5V supply requirements and 50 Ohm system impedance. Check for RoHS compliance status in official documentation before integration into final products.

Selection Notes

Select this component when SPDT switching is required at frequencies up to 18 GHz. Consider the 0.5 dB insertion loss and 60 dB isolation metrics for signal integrity. Verify that the module package with pin contacts fits the target PCB layout and thermal environment constraints.

Part Context

The ARD15105C belongs to the ARD series of RF switches from Panasonic Electric Works. This series focuses on general-purpose applications requiring reliable high-frequency performance. The component is distinct from passive components like capacitors, serving specifically as an active switching element in RF circuits.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Panasonic Electric Works documentation for verified substitute part numbers within the ARD series or compatible families. Do not assume cross-compatibility with other manufacturers' RF switches without detailed parameter matching.
