R573402620

Overview

The R573402620 is a general-purpose SP6T coaxial RF switch from the Ramses series by Radiall USA, Inc. It operates within a frequency range of DC to 18 GHz and features a 50 Ohm impedance. The component utilizes SMA connectors and is designed for normally open operation. It requires a 12Vdc TTL drive voltage with diodes for pin terminals. The unit is packaged in bulk and supports chassis mounting. The operational temperature range spans from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• SP6T configuration providing six distinct output paths for signal routing
• High-frequency performance capability up to 18 GHz
• Normally open switching state ensuring default isolation
• Integrated TTL drive interface with diode protection

Applications

• RF signal distribution systems requiring multiple path selection
• Test and measurement equipment needing high-isolation switching
• Telecommunications infrastructure components
• Aerospace and defense radar systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and technical specifications directly with Radiall USA, Inc. or authorized distributors before procurement. Confirm that the SMA connector type and TTL drive requirements align with system design constraints. Ensure environmental ratings meet operational temperature standards. Check for any recent product lifecycle updates or obsolescence notices. Validate packaging details and mounting requirements for integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-pole multi-throw switching solution is required for frequencies up to 18 GHz. Consider the SP6T topology if six distinct output channels are necessary. Evaluate the 12Vdc TTL drive compatibility with existing control logic. Assess the chassis mounting form factor against available space. Verify the normally open state meets safety and operational defaults. Compare insertion loss and isolation specs against system budget requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Ramses series of microwave components, which are known for high-performance RF switching solutions. The series typically offers robust construction suitable for demanding environments. The R573402620 specifically addresses applications requiring reliable signal routing at high frequencies. It complements other Ramses variants with different pole counts or connector types.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Radiall documentation for verified substitute part numbers. Ensure any replacement maintains the SP6T configuration and 18 GHz frequency range. Verify compatibility with SMA connectors and 12Vdc TTL drive requirements. Check for identical mounting dimensions and thermal characteristics. Do not assume interchangeability without explicit manufacturer confirmation.
