R573432320

Overview

The R573432320 is a single-pole, three-throw (SP3T) RF coaxial switch manufactured by Radiall USA, Inc. It operates within a frequency range of up to 18 GHz and features a 50 Ohm impedance. The device utilizes a latching mechanism for position retention and is designed for surface-mount or board-level integration in high-frequency signal routing applications.

Feature Summary

• SP3T topology for multi-path signal routing
• Operational frequency support up to 18 GHz
• Latching actuation mechanism for stable positioning

Applications

• RF signal distribution networks
• Test and measurement equipment
• Telecommunications infrastructure

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision and mechanical footprint dimensions prior to procurement. Confirm that the latching mechanism type matches the system requirements. Ensure compatibility with the intended operating voltage and control interface specifications defined in the official Radiall documentation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an SP3T configuration is required at frequencies approaching 18 GHz. Consider the latching feature if power-off state retention is necessary. Evaluate the physical package constraints against the PCB layout requirements before finalizing the design choice.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Radiall RF switch portfolio, specifically designed for microwave and millimeter-wave applications. It serves as a critical interconnect element for directing RF signals between multiple paths in complex electronic systems requiring high-frequency performance.

Replacement Considerations

The R574422305 is identified as a general-purpose SP3T RF switch alternative from the same manufacturer. Verify electrical parameters and mechanical compatibility before substitution.
