R573F11601

Overview

The R573F11601 is a general purpose SP6T coaxial RF switch from the Ramses series, manufactured by Radiall USA, Inc. It features an SMA interface and operates within a frequency range of 0Hz to 26.5GHz. The device utilizes a normally open configuration with 5Vdc control voltage via a USB receptacle. Key electrical specifications include a minimum isolation of 60dB and a maximum insertion loss of 0.3dB. This component is designed for high-frequency applications requiring reliable signal routing.

Feature Summary

• SP6T circuit topology for single-pole six-throw switching
• High-frequency operation up to 26.5GHz
• Normally open contact configuration
• Integrated USB receptacle for control interface

Applications

• Test and measurement equipment requiring high-isolation switching
• Telecommunications infrastructure signal routing
• Aerospace and defense radar systems
• RF module testing setups

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific interface type and control voltage requirements against your system design before ordering. Confirm that the USB receptacle control method is compatible with your host controller. Ensure the SMA connector gender and mating requirements align with your cabling infrastructure. Check for any updated datasheet revisions that may affect mechanical or electrical tolerances.

Selection Notes

Select this model when high-frequency performance up to 26.5GHz is required alongside low insertion loss. The SP6T configuration allows for complex signal path management in a single unit. Consider the USB control interface if digital integration is preferred over manual or relay-based control. Verify that the normally open state meets the default safety or operational requirements of the application.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Ramses series of coaxial switches, known for high reliability in demanding environments. The series offers various configurations including different pole counts and connector types. The R573F11601 specifically targets applications needing wide bandwidth and precise signal isolation in a compact form factor suitable for rack-mounted or modular systems.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Radiall documentation for qualified substitute part numbers. Ensure any replacement maintains the same SP6T topology, SMA interface, and 26.5GHz frequency limit. Verify compatibility of the 5Vdc USB control interface with existing control hardware. Do not assume interchangeability with other Ramses variants without checking detailed specifications.
