Coaxial Power Splitter/Combiner 2 Way-0o 509 10 to 1000 MHz

Category: Electronics, Minicircuits, RF Microwave Devices

The datasheet details the specifications, features, and applications of the Coaxial Power Splitter/Combiner 2 Way-0o, model number ZFSC-2-2+, and its variants with different connectors. Designed by Mini-Circuits, this device operates over a wide frequency range of 10 MHz to 1000 MHz, and it serves a variety of uses within the cellular and VHFI/UHF instrumentation sectors.

The device can handle an operating temperature from -55°C to 100°C and a storage temperature within the same range. It is limited to a maximum power input of 1W (when used as a splitter) and has an internal dissipation maximum of 0.125W. Exceeding these limits could lead to permanent damage.

Advertised features of the ZFSC-2-2+ include a low insertion loss at a typical value of 0.4 dB, excellent isolation typically about 28 dB, minimal amplitude unbalance of 0.1 dB typically, and a phase unbalance generally around 0.5 degrees. The return loss or VSWR is positively noted to be typically 1.2:1. It is housed in a rugged shielded case and is RoHS compliant.

Electrical Specifications

The electrical specifications outlined focus on the frequency range, isolation, insertion loss, amplitude unbalance, and phase unbalance. At the low-frequency range (10-1000 MHz), isolation is typically 30 dB min, insertion loss from 0.2 dB to 0.5 dB, amplitude unbalance typically at 0.15 dB, and phase unbalance ranging between 1.15 degrees to 3.18 degrees. Performance data is provided for specific frequencies that highlight the total loss, amplitude unbalance, and isolation.

Several variants of the model are mentioned with different connectors, presumably to accommodate different system requirements: BNC (ZFSC-2-2+), SMA (ZFSC-2-2-S+), and N-TYPE (ZFSC-2-2-N+). The optional addition of a bracket is denoted as “OPTION B”.

Physical Specifications

The datasheet provides an outline drawing and dimensions of the device, expressing measurements in both inches and millimeters, with an added note on the increased dimension when N-type connectors are employed.
