ARD10012 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ARD10012 is an RF Switch IC featuring Single-Pole Double-Throw (SPDT) topology designed for general-purpose applications up to 18 GHz. This active product operates at 12V supply voltage with 50Ohm impedance and is housed in a Module with Pin Contacts package. The part is ROHS3 compliant and carries MSL Level 1 rating. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility are required due to inventory constraints, design flexibility, or supply chain optimization.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ARD15105 is identified as a parametric equivalent to the ARD10012 based on the following matching criteria:

Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Panasonic Electric Works
• Series: ARD
• Circuit: SPDT
• RF Type: General Purpose
• Frequency Range: 0Hz ~ 18GHz
• Isolation: 60dB (Min)
• Insertion Loss: 0.5dB (Max)
• Impedance: 50Ohm
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 85°C
• Package / Case: Module, Pin Contacts
• Product Status: Active
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited)

Differing Parameter:

• Voltage - Supply: ARD15105 operates at 5V versus ARD10012 at 12V

The ARD15105 maintains electrical performance specifications across the full frequency range and mechanical compatibility. The supply voltage difference requires circuit-level design consideration and is the primary distinction between these parts.

Parameter Comparison
