3700BL15C0050001E

Balun Overview

The 3700BL15C0050001E is an RF balun manufactured by Johanson Technology Inc. designed for signal conditioning applications within the 3.4 GHz to 4.0 GHz frequency range. It features a 50/50 Ohm impedance configuration and utilizes a surface mount (SMD/SMT) termination type. The component is housed in a compact 0805 (2012 metric) package with six PCB pads, suitable for automated assembly processes. It operates reliably within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and complies with RoHS3 standards.

Balun Feature Summary

• Provides balanced-to-unbalanced signal conversion for RF circuits
• Supports wideband operation across the 3.4 GHz to 4.0 GHz spectrum
• Ensures high phase accuracy with a deviation of ±25 degrees
• Delivers low insertion loss for efficient signal transmission

Balun Applications

• Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) systems
• Bluetooth communication modules
• Zigbee and other short-range wireless protocols
• Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band equipment

Balun Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's global part numbering change documentation to ensure correct component identification. Confirm that the required quantity aligns with standard factory packaging specifications. Check current availability status as supply levels may fluctuate. Ensure compatibility with existing surface mount assembly equipment and reflow soldering profiles specified for the 0805 package type.

Balun Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring a wideband balun for frequencies between 3.4 GHz and 4.0 GHz. The 0805 footprint offers a balance between size constraints and thermal performance. Consider the ±25-degree phase difference specification for applications where strict phase matching is not critical. Evaluate the 1.2 dB maximum insertion loss against system power budget requirements before finalizing the design.

Balun Part Context

This component belongs to the BL series of signal conditioning products from Johanson Technology. It falls under the broader category of RF filters and baluns used in wireless communications. The part is distinct from narrowband variants due to its wider operational frequency span, making it suitable for multi-standard devices operating in the 3.4-4.0 GHz range.

Balun Replacement Considerations

Consult official distributor databases for direct cross-reference part numbers. Verify electrical parameter equivalence, specifically frequency range and impedance, before substitution.
