3-4-6DL

Overview

The Bourns Inc. 3-4-6DL is a magnetic RF transformer component designed for signal processing applications. It operates within a frequency range of 20 kHz to 200 MHz, providing impedance transformation capabilities essential for circuit matching and isolation. The device is housed in a standard 6-DIP package with an interpin spacing of 0.330 inches (8.38 mm), facilitating through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards. This configuration supports reliable integration into electronic systems requiring specific RF characteristics.

Feature Summary

• Provides balanced-to-unbalanced or impedance conversion functionality within the specified frequency band
• Constructed in a 6-DIP package for secure through-hole PCB mounting
• Designed for use in audio and signal transformer applications

Applications

• Audio signal processing circuits
• RF signal transmission lines
• Impedance matching networks

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact datasheet specifications against the manufacturer's official documentation before procurement. Confirm that the 6-DIP package dimensions align with your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure the operating frequency range of 20 kHz to 200 MHz meets your system's performance needs. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your manufacturing process.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a magnetic RF transformer is required for frequencies between 20 kHz and 200 MHz. The 6-DIP package is suitable for automated or manual through-hole assembly processes. Consider the physical size constraints of the 0.330-inch pitch when designing the layout. Evaluate the thermal and electrical requirements of the application to ensure compatibility with the transformer's ratings.

Part Context

This part belongs to Bourns' portfolio of magnetics and RF transformers. It is categorized under Audio & Signal Transformers, distinct from their rotary encoders, potentiometers, and power components. The product line focuses on passive components that facilitate signal integrity and impedance control in various electronic assemblies.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Bourns documentation for verified substitute part numbers. Do not assume cross-compatibility with other DIP packages or different frequency ranges without explicit manufacturer confirmation.
