R573F23610

Overview

The R573F23610 is an SP6T coaxial switch from the Radiall RAMSES series, designed for RF applications up to 26.5 GHz. It features a 50 Ohm impedance and utilizes SMA connectors. The device operates with a 28V DC latching coil using positive common logic. Key electrical specifications include a maximum insertion loss of 0.4 dB and isolation exceeding 50 dB. It supports a maximum power handling of 2W and maintains a VSWR of 1.2:1.

Feature Summary

• SP6T configuration providing six distinct throw paths from a single pole
• Latching mechanism utilizing 28V DC positive common control logic
• SMA connector interface ensuring compatibility with standard RF systems
• RAMSES series construction optimized for high-frequency signal integrity

Applications

• Automated Test Equipment (ATE) signal routing
• RF measurement and instrumentation systems
• Telecommunications base station testing
• Defense and aerospace radar test setups

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the R573F23610 to confirm current manufacturing status and lead times directly with Radiall USA, Inc. or authorized distributors. Ensure that the 28V DC latching requirement aligns with your system's power supply capabilities. Confirm connector type and impedance matching for your specific application environment before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select the R573F23610 when a six-throw switching solution is required within the 26.5 GHz frequency range. The latching feature reduces continuous power consumption compared to momentary switches. Ensure the SMA interface matches existing cabling infrastructure. Consider the 2W power handling limit relative to your signal levels to prevent component damage during operation.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Radiall RAMSES family of unterminated multithrow coaxial switches. The R573 series offers extensive configurability with over 40,000 combinations available across various throw counts and connector types. These switches are engineered for reliability in automated environments, providing consistent RF performance across wide bandwidths.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include the R573J23610, which offers similar SP6T functionality but utilizes 2.4mm connectors instead of SMA. Verify connector compatibility and frequency range extensions when considering alternative part numbers from the broader R573 product line.
