2500BL14M0050001T

Overview

The 2500BL14M0050001T is an RF balun manufactured by Johanson Technology Inc., designed for operation within the 2.3GHz to 2.7GHz frequency range. It features a 50/50 Ohm impedance configuration and utilizes a 0603 (1608 metric) surface-mount package. Key electrical specifications include a maximum insertion loss of 1.2dB, a minimum return loss of 9.5dB, and a phase difference of 180° ±15°. The component is supplied in tape and reel packaging.

Feature Summary

• Provides balanced-to-unbalanced signal conversion for RF applications
• Optimized for WiMAX and wireless communication systems
• Compact 0603 surface-mount footprint for space-constrained designs

Applications

• WiMAX base station and mobile unit circuits
• Wireless local area network (WLAN) interfaces
• RF front-end modules requiring signal conditioning

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to ensure compatibility with required packaging options such as tape and reel or cut tape. Confirm that the 0603 package dimensions align with the target PCB layout constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact solution is required for the 2.3-2.7GHz band with strict insertion loss limits. Ensure the design accommodates the specified 180-degree phase tolerance and 50-ohm system impedance. Evaluate thermal management requirements based on the 0603 package size and operating temperature range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Johanson 2500 series of integrated passive components. It serves as a specialized balun for high-frequency signal processing. The component integrates passive elements into a single surface-mount device to replace discrete solutions, thereby reducing board space and improving performance consistency in RF circuits.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official cross-reference data for direct substitutes. Verify that any alternative maintains identical 50/50 ohm impedance, 0603 package dimensions, and 2.3-2.7GHz operational range to ensure circuit compatibility.
