ACK3010

Balun Overview

The L-com ACK3010 is a coaxial cable assembly featuring a 75-ohm to 120-ohm balanced balun configuration. It utilizes a 1.6/5.6 female connector on one end and a 3-position IDC connector on the other. The assembly is available in lengths of 3.33 feet (1.015 meters) and 6.56 feet (2.0 meters). Constructed with brass body, phosphorus bronze inner contact, PTFE insulator, Noryl black outer sleeve, and polyester IDC molding, it complies with RoHS standards.

Balun Feature Summary

• Converts between 75-ohm unbalanced and 120-ohm balanced signal paths
• Integrates 1.6/5.6F coaxial interface with 3-pole IDC terminal
• Utilizes PTFE insulation for stable dielectric performance
• Compliant with RoHS environmental directives

Balun Applications

• Video signal transmission systems requiring impedance matching
• Industrial control interfaces using balanced twisted pair connections
• RF interconnect assemblies converting coaxial to IDC formats

Balun Procurement Notes

Verify the specific cable length required, as the part number may correspond to different standard lengths such as 3.33 ft or 6.56 ft. Confirm that the 1.6/5.6 connector style matches the mating port specifications. Ensure the application environment is compatible with the specified materials, including the Noryl and polyester moldings. Check for any specific project requirements regarding RoHS certification documentation.

Balun Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing 75-ohm coaxial equipment with 120-ohm balanced devices via an IDC connector. The 1.6/5.6 connector type is distinct from standard BNC or F-type connectors; verify physical compatibility before integration. Consider the mechanical constraints of the 3-position IDC housing. This assembly is suitable for applications where impedance transformation is necessary without active components.

Balun Part Context

The ACK3010 belongs to the L-com Interconnect series, categorized under RF and Coaxial Connectors. It serves as a specialized cable assembly rather than a standalone connector. The product line focuses on providing pre-assembled solutions for specific impedance conversion needs, bridging the gap between standard coaxial infrastructure and balanced industrial interfaces.

Balun Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are identified in the provided documentation. Verify pinout and impedance ratings if considering alternative balun assemblies.
