R573412020

Overview

The R573412020 is a SP10T coaxial switch from the Ramses series, manufactured by Radiall USA, Inc. It features an SMA interface and operates up to 18 GHz. The device is normally open and utilizes a 12Vdc TTL driver for actuation. It includes built-in suppression diodes and positive common configuration. The switch is designed for panel mount installation and supports DC input and output signals.

Feature Summary

• SP10T configuration with positive common terminal
• Built-in TTL driver for direct logic control
• Integrated suppression diodes for protection
• SMA connector interface for RF signal routing

Applications

• RF test and measurement systems requiring multi-port switching
• Telecommunications infrastructure signal distribution
• Aerospace and defense radar subsystems

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Radiall distributors or official manufacturer channels. Confirm datasheet revision status and RoHS compliance details prior to integration. Cross-reference ordering suffixes to ensure exact electrical and mechanical specifications match design requirements. Request factory confirmation for availability and lifecycle status as standard inventory data may be limited.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a single-pole ten-throw switching topology is required within the 18 GHz frequency range. Ensure system voltage aligns with the 12Vdc TTL control specification. Verify that the SMA interface compatibility matches existing cable assemblies. Consider the positive common configuration if simultaneous connection isolation is critical for the application architecture.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Ramses family of high-performance coaxial switches. The series offers various throw configurations and frequency ratings, ranging from lower microwave bands up to 40 GHz. The R573412020 specifically addresses applications needing extensive signal path selection with reliable latching mechanisms and integrated driver electronics for simplified system control.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the official Ramses product selector guide for alternative part numbers with compatible interfaces. Verify equivalent throw counts and frequency limits before substitution. Ensure control voltage and driver compatibility remain consistent across potential replacement models.
