R573J03610

Overview

The R573J03610 is a general-purpose SP6T RF switch from the RAMSES series, designed for high-frequency applications up to 50 GHz. It utilizes a 2.4mm connector interface and maintains a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms. The device operates with a normally open configuration and requires a 28Vdc control voltage. Key electrical specifications include a maximum insertion loss of 0.5 dB and a minimum isolation of 60 dB. It features positive common logic and solder pin terminals for panel mounting.

Feature Summary

• SP6T switching topology supporting six distinct signal paths
• Operational frequency range extending up to 50 GHz
• Positive common logic configuration for control signaling
• Solder pin terminal implementation for secure panel integration

Applications

• High-frequency test and measurement instrumentation
• Wireless communication base station architectures
• Radar system signal routing networks
• Satellite communication ground equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision and mechanical dimensions prior to procurement. Confirm that the 28Vdc control voltage aligns with existing system power supplies. Ensure the 2.4mm connector compatibility matches the target PCB or cable assembly requirements. Validate the solder pin terminal pitch against the designated mounting footprint.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-pole six-throw switching capability is required at frequencies approaching 50 GHz. The 50 Ohm impedance ensures compatibility with standard RF transmission lines. Consider the 28Vdc drive requirement during circuit design. The RAMSES series offers robust performance for demanding microwave environments compared to lower-frequency alternatives.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Radiall RAMSES family of coaxial switches. The R573 series designation indicates specific connector types and frequency ranges within the product line. The J suffix typically denotes specific termination or actuator options within the standardized model numbering scheme used by the manufacturer for microwave components.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other models within the R573 series offering similar SP6T configurations and 50 GHz capabilities. Verify connector type and impedance matching before substitution. Cross-reference control voltage requirements and terminal styles to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.
