R573403610LP

Overview

The R573403610LP is a general-purpose SP6T coaxial RF switch manufactured by Radiall USA, Inc. It operates within a frequency range of DC to 18 GHz and features a 50 Ohm impedance. The device provides a minimum isolation of 60 dB and a maximum insertion loss of 0.5 dB at the upper frequency limit. Designed for robust performance in demanding environments, it supports a maximum operating temperature of +70°C. The component utilizes SMA connectors and is packaged in bulk.

Feature Summary

• SP6T topology enabling single-pole six-throw signal routing
• Wideband operation from DC up to 18 GHz
• Low PIM characteristics suitable for sensitive RF applications
• SMA connector interface for standard coaxial integration

Applications

• RF and microwave test and measurement equipment
• Wireless communication infrastructure systems
• Radar system signal routing
• Satellite ground station components

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and mechanical drawings directly with Radiall or authorized distributors before finalizing design integration. Confirm that the SMA connector type matches the system requirements. Ensure environmental specifications, including the +70°C operating limit, align with the target application conditions. Check for any RoHS compliance documentation if required by project standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an SP6T configuration is required for frequencies extending to 18 GHz. The 50 Ohm impedance makes it compatible with standard RF transmission lines. Consider the low insertion loss and high isolation metrics for signal integrity preservation. Evaluate the bulk packaging format against assembly line handling capabilities.

Part Context

This part belongs to the RAMSES series of low PIM coaxial switches from Radiall. These switches are engineered for high reliability in RF applications where signal purity is critical. The series typically offers various throw configurations and connector options to suit different system architectures.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Radiall substitution guides for verified equivalents. Generic cross-references may not match the specific 18 GHz performance or low PIM characteristics. Verify pinout and connector compatibility before attempting any substitution.
