ADCB-20-82+

RF Directional Couplers Overview

The ADCB-20-82+ is a surface-mount bi-directional coupler manufactured by Mini-Circuits. It operates within a frequency range of 1 MHz to 800 MHz and features a nominal coupling value of approximately 20 dB, specifically ranging from 18.5 dB to 21.8 dB. The device supports an average power handling capacity of up to 1 Watt (30 dBm) and maintains a maximum insertion loss of 0.9 dB. Designed for 50-ohm systems, it utilizes a compact 6-SMD flat lead package suitable for automated surface mount assembly.
