BD0810N50100AHF

Balun Overview

The BD0810N50100AHF is an RF balun transformer manufactured by TTM Technologies, Inc. under the Xinger brand. It operates within a frequency range of 800 MHz to 1 GHz. The component provides impedance transformation between unbalanced and balanced ports with values of 50 ohms and 100 ohms respectively. Key electrical specifications include a maximum insertion loss of 1.2 dB, a minimum return loss of 18 dB, and a phase difference of 5 degrees. The device is housed in a compact 0404 (1010 Metric) surface-mount package.

Balun Feature Summary

• Performs signal conversion between unbalanced and balanced configurations for RF applications
• Provides impedance matching between 50-ohm and 100-ohm transmission lines
• Designed for high-frequency operation within the 800 MHz to 1 GHz spectrum

Balun Applications

• RF front-end circuitry in wireless communication devices
• Signal conditioning in mobile phone architectures
• Balanced-to-unbalanced signal conversion in antenna systems

Balun Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'N' against official TTM documentation to confirm the 0404 package and 50/100 ohm impedance configuration. Ensure compatibility with RoHS standards and MSL Level 1 requirements for your manufacturing process. Cross-reference distributor part numbers such as 1173-BD0810N50100AHFTR to validate authenticity and sourcing channels.

Balun Selection Notes

Select this component when a small form factor is required for 800 MHz to 1 GHz applications. The 0404 package suits space-constrained designs compared to larger 0805 variants. Consider the 1.2 dB insertion loss and 5-degree phase balance when evaluating signal integrity requirements for your specific RF path.

Balun Part Context

This part belongs to the BD0810 series of baluns from TTM Technologies. The series includes variations with different impedances and packages, such as the BD0810J50100AHF which uses an 0805 package. The N suffix specifically denotes the 0404 footprint and associated electrical characteristics distinct from other series members.

Balun Replacement Considerations

The BD0810J50100AHF serves as a functional substitute offering similar electrical performance but utilizes an 0805 package instead of 0404. Designers must verify board layout compatibility due to the physical size difference between the two components.
