3400BL15A0100001E

Balun Overview

The 3400BL15A0100001E is a wideband balun manufactured by Johanson Technology, designed for signal conditioning in RF applications. It operates within a frequency range of 1.8 GHz to 5 GHz, with a center frequency of 3.4 GHz. The component provides a 1:2 impedance transformation from 50 Ohms single-ended to 100 Ohms differential. Packaged in an EIA 0805 (2012 metric) surface-mount case, it supports board mounting and is suitable for high-frequency solutions requiring compact integration.

Balun Feature Summary

• Wideband operation covering 1.8 GHz to 5 GHz for versatile frequency coverage
• 1:2 impedance transformation converting 50 Ohm single-ended to 100 Ohm differential
• Compact EIA 0805 surface-mount package design for space-constrained PCBs

Balun Applications

• Cellular communication modules
• Internet of Things (IoT) devices
• 4G LTE infrastructure components
• 5G network equipment supporting n77 and n79 bands

Balun Procurement Notes

Verify the complete global manufacturer part number 3400BL15A0100001E against procurement orders, as legacy identifiers like 3400BL15A0100 may cause confusion. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements prior to assembly. Ensure that the 0805 footprint matches the target PCB layout specifications to guarantee proper solder joint integrity during surface mount processing.

Balun Selection Notes

Select this component when a wideband solution is required across the 1.8 GHz to 5 GHz spectrum. The 100 Ohm differential output is critical for driving balanced loads in modern RF front-ends. Consider the 0805 package size if board real estate is limited. This balun is appropriate for designs supporting multiple wireless standards including cellular and 5G sub-6 GHz bands without needing discrete tuning for each band.

Balun Part Context

This device belongs to Johanson Technology's BL series of baluns, which are engineered for signal conditioning tasks. It serves as a replacement or upgrade for legacy part numbers such as 3400BL15A0100. The component integrates passive RF filtering and impedance matching functions into a single surface-mount unit, simplifying circuit design for broadband wireless applications.

Balun Replacement Considerations

The legacy part number 3400BL15A0100 is identified as a previous version of this component. Designers replacing older inventory should verify pin compatibility and electrical performance equivalence between the legacy identifier and the current 3400BL15A0100001E designation.
