0898BM15A0002001E

Overview

The 0898BM15A0002001E is a signal conditioning component manufactured by Johanson Technology Inc., classified as an RF balun. It operates within the frequency range of 863 MHz to 928 MHz, covering ISM bands such as 868 MHz and 915 MHz. The device features a 50-ohm impedance configuration with surface mount (SMD/SMT) termination types. It is housed in a compact 0402 (1005 metric) package, designed for board mounting applications. The component supports a minimum operating temperature of -40°C and a maximum operating temperature of +85°C, ensuring reliability across standard industrial electronic environments.

Feature Summary

• Integrates balanced-to-unbalanced conversion functionality for RF signal paths
• Optimized for operation within the 863 MHz to 928 MHz frequency spectrum
• Utilizes a compact surface-mount footprint suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts

Applications

• ISM band wireless communication modules
• Sub-GHz transceiver circuits
• Low-power IoT sensor nodes

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version when sourcing this component, as Johanson Technology has implemented global part number revisions. Confirm that the suffix '001E' aligns with current manufacturing specifications rather than legacy identifiers. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB land pattern for the 0402 package size before finalizing procurement orders to avoid assembly discrepancies.

Selection Notes

Select this balun for designs requiring sub-GHz frequency coverage with integrated filtering capabilities. The 50-ohm impedance matches standard RF transmission lines, simplifying circuit matching networks. Consider the 0402 package dimensions against available board real estate. Verify thermal performance requirements against the specified -40°C to +85°C operational range for the intended application environment.

Part Context

This component belongs to Johanson Technology's BM series of baluns, which are engineered for signal conditioning in wireless applications. The series provides solutions for converting between balanced and unbalanced signals while offering harmonic suppression. The 0898BM15A0002001E specifically targets the 868/915 MHz market segments, differentiating itself from other series members that operate at higher frequencies like 2.4 GHz or lower frequencies below 1 GHz.
