ADPQ-2-250+

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Overview

The ADPQ-2-250+ is a two-way 90-degree power splitter/combiner designed for the 150 to 250 MHz frequency range. It features a 50-ohm impedance and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Key electrical specifications include an insertion loss of 0.2 to 0.7 dB, isolation of 17 to 24 dB, and VSWR of 1.3:1 maximum. The device supports a power handling capacity of 2 watts (37 dBm) and utilizes a compact 6-SMD flat lead package.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the component authenticity by checking the manufacturer's marking against official datasheet images. Confirm the specific suffix (+) indicates RoHS compliance as per Mini-Circuits standards. Request the original test report or certificate of conformity to ensure performance parameters meet the specified insertion loss and isolation requirements before final acceptance.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 90-degree phase relationship is required between output ports. Ensure the operating frequency falls strictly within the 150 to 250 MHz range for optimal performance. Consider the 6-SMD package size for PCB layout constraints. Verify that the system power levels do not exceed the 2-watt average power handling limit to prevent device damage.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Part Context

This part belongs to Mini-Circuits' ADPQ series of quadrature hybrids. These components are engineered for stable phase and amplitude balance in microwave and RF circuits. The series offers various frequency bands, with this specific model targeting VHF/UHF applications requiring compact form factors and reliable performance in space-constrained designs.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other 90-degree hybrids from Mini-Circuits such as the ZFSC-2-250+ if frequency ranges overlap sufficiently. Cross-reference pinouts and package dimensions carefully. Verify that alternative parts meet the same isolation and insertion loss specifications for equivalent circuit performance.
