Coaxial Power Splitter/Combiner 2 Way-1808 502 5 to 300 MHz – ZFSCJ-2-3

Category: Electronics, Minicircuits, RF Microwave Devices

Overview of the Coaxial Power Splitter/Combiner ZFSCJ-2-3

The Coaxial Power Splitter/Combiner ZFSCJ-2-3 is designed for radio frequency applications ranging from 5 to 300 MHz. It comes in different connector styles, including BNC, SMA, and N-TYPE, each variant priced at $54.95, and offers an additional bracket (Option “B”) for $5.00. The product complies with EU RoHS standards as per Directive 2002/95/EC, indicating restriction of certain hazardous substances in electronic equipment.

Electrical Specifications

The device features a low insertion loss of 1.0 dB typically and high isolation of 33 dB typically, ensuring efficient signal splitting and combination. The power input for use as a splitter is limited to 1W maximum, with an internal dissipation of 0.125W, beyond which permanent damage could occur. The operating and storage temperature range for the component is from -55°C to +100°C.

Moreover, the splitter/combiner shows maximum performance with typical values for insertion loss and isolation across the frequency range, with very tight amplitude and phase unbalance. For example, at frequencies of 5.0 MHz and 300.0 MHz, the isolation remains robust at over 30 dB and the phase unbalance under 180 degrees.

Applications and Performance

Due to its frequency range, the ZFSCJ-2-3 is suitable for VHF signal processing applications. It also provides rugged shielding with its durable case.

The datasheet includes an outline drawing and typical performance data, showing detailed metrics such as total loss, isolation, phase unbalance, amplitude unbalance, and voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) across the operating frequency spectrum. These performance characteristics are crucial for engineers to ensure compatibility and optimal operation within specific applications. The datasheet concludes with outline dimensions and the schematic of the electrical ports.
