R573403600LP

Overview

The R573403600LP is a single-pole six-throw (SP6T) coaxial switch from the Ramses series manufactured by Radiall. It operates with a normally open configuration and utilizes a 28Vdc control voltage. The component supports a frequency range of 0Hz to 18GHz and features SMA connectors. It is designed for low passive intermodulation (Low PIM) performance and uses pin terminals for connection.

Feature Summary

• SP6T switching architecture within the Ramses series
• Low Passive Intermodulation (Low PIM) design
• Normally open operational state
• SMA connector interface

Applications

• RF signal routing in communication systems
• Test and measurement equipment
• Aerospace and defense radar applications

Procurement Notes

Verify current availability status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors, as stock levels may vary. Confirm that the specific Low PIM variant matches system requirements. Ensure the 28Vdc control voltage aligns with existing circuit designs. Validate the SMA connector type and pin terminal configuration against mechanical constraints.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-frequency operation up to 18GHz is required alongside strict PIM limitations. The SP6T topology allows routing one input to any of six outputs. Verify compatibility with the 28Vdc control signal. Consider the bulk packaging format for integration needs.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Ramses family of coaxial switches, which are engineered for high-performance RF applications. The series offers various throw configurations and connector types. The R573403600LP specifically addresses scenarios demanding low distortion at microwave frequencies.

Replacement Considerations

The R573403605 is a similar SP6T Ramses switch but lacks the Low PIM designation. Verify if standard PIM performance is acceptable. Other variants in the series may offer different connector types or throw counts.
