2450BL14C0200001T

Overview

The Johanson Technology 2450BL14C0200001T is an RF balun designed for the 2.4 GHz to 2.5 GHz frequency range. It features a 50 Ohm single-ended port and a 200 Ohm differential port, providing impedance transformation for wireless applications. The component utilizes a surface-mount technology (SMD) package in the 0603 (1608 metric) footprint, ensuring compact integration into PCB designs. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, supporting reliable performance in various environmental conditions.

Feature Summary

• Provides balanced-to-unbalanced signal conversion with integrated impedance matching
• Supports 50 Ohm to 200 Ohm impedance transformation for differential circuits
• Compact 0603 SMD footprint enables space-efficient board layout

Applications

• Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) transceivers
• Wi-Fi and WLAN modules operating at 2.4 GHz
• Zigbee and IoT wireless sensor networks

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' indicates tape-and-reel packaging configuration when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to procurement. Ensure the 0603 footprint dimensions align with your PCB assembly capabilities. Cross-reference the full part number against distributor catalogs to avoid substitution errors with similar series components.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 200 Ohm differential output is required for the load side of the RF chain. The 0603 size is suitable for high-density layouts where larger packages are not feasible. Consider the insertion loss specifications if system sensitivity is critical. Verify that the 2.4-2.5 GHz bandwidth covers all intended operational channels without excessive attenuation.

Part Context

This balun belongs to Johanson's 2450 series, which focuses on 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity solutions. The BL series typically denotes balun functionality within their passive component portfolio. These components are engineered to replace discrete LC networks, reducing component count and improving consistency in mass production environments for consumer electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include Johanson 2450BL14C0200001 or equivalent 0603 baluns with identical 50/200 Ohm ratios. Verify pin compatibility and thermal characteristics before swapping. Generic replacements may differ in phase balance and amplitude imbalance metrics.
