Switch function and production status
The MAX4574CWI is a clickless audio/video switch from Maxim Integrated, designed to eliminate the audible pop or click when switching audio signals in consumer and professional A/V equipment.
Compliance and packaging
RoHS non-compliant — the part contains lead (Pb) and is exempt under certain categories (e.g., medical, industrial, or high-reliability) where RoHS exemptions apply. This is a critical check for BOMs targeting RoHS-required markets. Supplied in Bulk packaging — tubes or trays, not tape-and-reel. This suits low-volume production runs, prototyping, or repair stock where pick-and-place reels are not required.
Sourcing posture
As an active part with no announced end-of-life, the MAX4574CWI is sourced through authorized and independent distribution channels.
