R573422000

Overview

The Radiall R573422000 is a coaxial switch module designed for RF signal routing in test and measurement applications. It features a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) configuration with SMA female connectors on both the common and throw ports. The unit operates within a frequency range of DC to 18 GHz, providing reliable signal switching capabilities for high-frequency systems. Key electrical specifications include a maximum insertion loss of 0.6 dB and a minimum isolation of 40 dB across the operating band. The device supports a maximum power handling of 2 watts at room temperature and utilizes a mechanical switching mechanism controlled via DC voltage inputs.

Feature Summary

• Provides SPDT signal routing functionality for RF applications
• Operates effectively from DC up to 18 GHz frequency range
• Ensures signal integrity through low insertion loss characteristics
• Maintains channel separation with high isolation performance

Applications

• Automated test equipment signal routing
• RF component characterization setups
• Communication system testing environments

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector type and pin configuration against your system requirements before purchase. Confirm that the control voltage levels match your existing driver circuitry. Ensure the environmental conditions of your application fall within the specified operating temperature range. Check for any required accessories such as mounting hardware or control cables that may not be included in the standard package.

Selection Notes

Choose this model when a compact SPDT solution is needed for frequencies up to 18 GHz. Consider the physical size constraints of your enclosure as it is a module format. Evaluate the power handling requirements to ensure they do not exceed the 2-watt limit. Compare isolation needs against other available configurations if higher channel separation is critical for your specific test setup.

Part Context

This component belongs to Radiall's series of coaxial switch modules intended for precision RF applications. These modules are engineered to replace discrete relay assemblies, offering improved reliability and reduced footprint. The product line focuses on maintaining consistent electrical performance across various frequency bands while supporting automated control interfaces for integration into larger test systems.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other SPDT coaxial switches from different manufacturers covering the DC-18 GHz range. Verify compatibility regarding connector gender, mating dimensions, and control logic levels. Cross-reference insertion loss and isolation specs to ensure equivalent performance in your specific application context.
