R573403610

Overview

The R573403610 is a single-pole six-throw (SP6T) RF coaxial switch manufactured by Radiall USA, Inc. It operates within a frequency range of DC to 18 GHz and maintains a 50 Ohm impedance. The device features normally open contacts with a positive common configuration on the actuator. It requires a coil voltage supply between 24V and 30V DC for operation. Key electrical specifications include a maximum insertion loss of 0.5 dB and a minimum isolation of 60 dB at the test frequency of 18 GHz.

Feature Summary

• Single-pole six-throw (SP6T) switching architecture
• Normally open contact configuration with positive common actuator
• SMA connector interface for RF signal routing
• Electromechanical operation driven by 24V to 30V DC coil

Applications

• RF signal routing in communication systems
• Test and measurement equipment setups
• Phased array antenna beamforming networks
• Wireless infrastructure signal distribution

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and mechanical drawings prior to integration. Confirm that the system power supply strictly adheres to the 24V to 30V DC operating range to ensure reliable switching performance. Check for any recent RoHS compliance updates or environmental certifications required for your specific deployment region. Ensure SMA mating connectors are compatible with the switch's interface specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-isolation SP6T switch is required for frequencies up to 18 GHz. It is suitable for applications demanding normally open logic with a positive common terminal. Consider the physical size and mounting requirements associated with the Ramses series form factor. Evaluate the thermal management needs based on the coil power consumption during continuous operation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Ramses series of electromechanical RF switches from Radiall. The series is designed for robust performance in demanding RF environments. The R573403610 specifically utilizes SMA connectors, distinguishing it from variants using other interface types. It represents a standard solution for multi-path signal selection in microwave applications.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Radiall documentation for direct cross-reference part numbers. Verify pinout compatibility and mechanical footprint before substituting with generic equivalents. Ensure replacement units meet the same 18 GHz frequency and 60 dB isolation specifications.
