ATB3225-50011CT-T000

Balun Overview

The ATB3225-50011CT-T000 is a surface-mount RF balun transformer manufactured by TDK Corporation. It operates within a frequency range of 5 MHz to 100 MHz and provides a 1:1 impedance transformation ratio between two 50 Ohm ports. The component utilizes a 1210 (3225 Metric) package footprint, designed for compact electronic assemblies. Key electrical specifications include an insertion loss of 1.5 dB and a DC resistance of 0.7 ohms. This device functions as a signal transformer suitable for balanced-to-unbalanced conversion in RF circuits.

Balun Feature Summary

• Provides balanced-to-unbalanced signal conversion for RF applications
• Supports 50 Ohm to 50 Ohm impedance matching
• Designed for surface mount technology integration

Balun Applications

• RF signal processing circuits
• Telecommunications equipment interfaces
• Balanced line driver configurations

Balun Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix -T000 against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm exact reel packaging and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required 1210 package dimensions and impedance ratings. Cross-reference with authorized distributors to confirm availability and lot traceability requirements for production integration.

Balun Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1:1 impedance transformation is required for frequencies up to 100 MHz. The 1210 package size suits space-constrained designs. Evaluate insertion loss and DC resistance parameters against system budget constraints. Confirm compatibility with automated pick-and-place assembly processes due to its surface-mount construction.
