1600BL15B0100001E

Overview

The Johanson Technology Inc. 1600BL15B0100001E is an RF balun designed for the 1.5GHz to 1.7GHz frequency range, specifically targeting GPS applications. It features a 1:1 impedance ratio, converting between 50 Ohm unbalanced and 100 Ohm balanced lines. The component utilizes a surface-mount 0805 (2012 metric) package and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides signal conditioning via balanced-to-unbalanced conversion for RF circuits
• Engineered with a 1:1 impedance transformation ratio for matched line integration
• Constructed in a compact 0805 surface-mount footprint for space-constrained designs

Applications

• GPS receiver front-end modules
• RF signal path balancing in wireless transceivers
• Signal conditioning for 1.5-1.7 GHz communication systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '0100001E' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm exact packaging and RoHS compliance status. Ensure the ordering quantity aligns with the specified reel or cut-tape options provided by authorized distributors. Cross-reference the DigiKey and Mouser part numbers to validate availability and lead times before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1:1 impedance balance is required for GPS band operations. The 0805 package suits high-density PCB layouts. Confirm that the 50/100 Ohm configuration matches the system's differential and single-ended interface requirements. Validate thermal performance within the specified -40°C to +85°C operational window for the target environment.
