R573V03605

Overview

The R573V03605 is a high-frequency coaxial switch from the Ramses series, manufactured by Radiall. It features an SP6T topology with a 1.85mm interface and operates up to 67GHz. The device utilizes a normally open configuration and includes latching functionality with auto-reset indicators. Control is managed via a D-sub connector using 28Vdc diodes. This component is designed for demanding RF applications requiring precise signal routing at extremely high frequencies.

Feature Summary

• SP6T topology supporting six distinct output paths
• Operational frequency range extending to 67GHz
• Latching mechanism with auto-reset indicator functionality
• Normally open contact configuration

Applications

• High-frequency test and measurement equipment
• Aerospace and defense radar systems
• Satellite communication ground stations
• Millimeter-wave research laboratories

Procurement Notes

Verify current availability status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors, as supply conditions may vary. Confirm that the specific Ramses series variant matches your system's mechanical and electrical requirements. Ensure compatibility with the required 28Vdc control voltage and D-sub connector interface before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when application demands exceed standard microwave switch capabilities, specifically requiring operation near 67GHz. The SP6T configuration provides necessary path diversity for complex signal routing. Verify that the 1.85mm interface aligns with existing cabling infrastructure. Consider the latching feature for power efficiency in stationary states compared to non-latching alternatives.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Ramses family of high-performance coaxial switches known for wide bandwidth and low insertion loss. The R573V03605 represents the upper frequency limit within the Ramses product line, utilizing advanced materials to maintain signal integrity at millimeter-wave frequencies. It complements lower-frequency variants like the R573693605 which operate up to 12GHz.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the Ramses series include models with similar SP6T topologies but different interfaces or frequency limits, such as the R573693605 (12GHz, TNC). Cross-series replacements require careful evaluation of frequency response and connector type compatibility.
