#616DB-1196=P3

Overview

The #616DB-1196=P3 is an RF Balun manufactured by Murata Electronics, designed for operation within a frequency range of 1MHz to 500MHz. It utilizes a 6-SMD (5 Leads) package with gull wing termination style. The component is classified under EMC applications and complies with ROHS3 standards. It is categorized as an Audio & Signal Transformer in some distributor listings, though technically identified as an RF Balun. The part is currently marked as End-of-Life (EOL) with discontinuation notifications issued.

Feature Summary

• Provides balanced-to-unbalanced signal conversion for RF applications
• Operates across a wide frequency spectrum from 1MHz to 500MHz
• Features gull wing surface mount termination for reliable PCB integration

Applications

• RF signal balancing in communication systems
• EMC compliance filtering circuits
• Audio and signal transformer applications requiring balanced outputs

Procurement Notes

This component is officially designated as End-of-Life (EOL) by Murata Electronics. Discontinuation notifications have been published, indicating that new design-in is prohibited. Procurement is restricted to existing stock or limited factory orders where available. Verify current availability status carefully, as supply is likely exhausted or severely constrained. Alternative solutions should be evaluated immediately for any ongoing production requirements.

Selection Notes

Due to the EOL status, this part is unsuitable for new product development. Engineers must identify functional equivalents that match the 1MHz-500MHz frequency range and 6-SMD form factor. Consider components with similar gull wing terminations and balanced output capabilities. Ensure that any replacement maintains compatibility with existing PCB footprints and meets the same EMC performance criteria required by the original design.

Part Context

The #616DB-1196=P3 belongs to Murata's portfolio of passive components, specifically within the RF and signal processing segment. It serves as a balun transformer, bridging balanced and unbalanced circuit domains. While listed under audio/signal transformers in some catalogs, its primary technical function addresses RF impedance matching and signal integrity in high-frequency environments up to 500MHz.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are documented in the provided source material. Given the EOL status, users must independently verify compatible alternatives based on electrical specifications and mechanical footprint constraints.
