ADTL1-18-75+

Balun Overview

The ADTL1-18-75+ is an RF transformer manufactured by Mini-Circuits, designed for surface mount applications. It operates within a frequency range of 5 MHz to 1.8 GHz. The component features a balanced-to-balanced impedance configuration of 75 Ohms on both ports. Key electrical specifications include a phase difference of 4 degrees and an insertion loss of 1 dB. The device utilizes a 6-SMD, flat lead package suitable for board mounting.

Balun Feature Summary

• Provides balanced-to-balanced signal transformation with 75 Ohm impedance matching
• Operates across a wide frequency spectrum from 5 MHz to 1.8 GHz
• Utilizes a compact surface mount package for efficient board integration

Balun Applications

• RF communication systems requiring 75 Ohm balanced interfaces
• Signal conditioning in broadband transmission lines
• Integration into surface mount assembly processes for RF circuits

Balun Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure compliance with RoHS standards and lead-free requirements as indicated by the '+' designation. Confirm that the 6-SMD flat lead package matches your PCB footprint design. Ensure the selected variant meets the required operating temperature range and impedance specifications for your target application environment.

Balun Selection Notes

Select this component when a balanced-to-balanced transformer with 75 Ohm impedance is required for frequencies up to 1.8 GHz. Consider the 4-degree phase difference and 1 dB insertion loss for signal integrity analysis. Evaluate the surface mount form factor against available board space and assembly capabilities compared to through-hole alternatives.

Balun Part Context

This component belongs to the Mini-Circuits RF transformer family, specifically engineered for signal processing tasks. It serves as a passive device for converting unbalanced signals or maintaining balance in transmission lines. The part is distinct from mixers, amplifiers, and filters within the manufacturer's portfolio due to its specific transformer function and impedance characteristics.

Balun Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not provided in the source documentation. Verify compatibility with existing designs before considering alternative models from other manufacturers.
