BD1416N50100AHF

Balun Overview

The BD1416N50100AHF is an RF balun from the Xinger series manufactured by TTM Technologies, Inc. It operates within a frequency range of 1.4GHz to 1.6GHz. The component provides impedance transformation between unbalanced and balanced ports rated at 50 Ohms and 100 Ohms respectively. Key electrical specifications include a maximum insertion loss of 0.9dB, a minimum return loss of 18dB, and a phase difference of 4 degrees. It is housed in a compact 0404 (1010 metric) surface mount package.

Balun Feature Summary

• Provides signal conversion between unbalanced and balanced circuits
• Designed for ultra-low profile surface mount integration
• Ensures high return loss performance for signal integrity

Balun Applications

• Wireless local area network (WLAN) systems
• Bluetooth module interfaces
• Zigbee communication devices
• Industrial wireless sensor networks

Balun Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the packaging format, such as tape and reel or cut tape, as these variants may have different handling requirements. Ensure that the procurement documentation explicitly references the RoHS compliance status and the correct MSL rating for storage and reflow soldering processes. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with distributor codes to avoid substitution errors during sourcing.

Balun Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring a 50-ohm to 100-ohm impedance match within the 1.4GHz to 1.6GHz band. Consider the 0404 footprint constraints for dense PCB layouts. Evaluate the 0.9dB insertion loss against system power budget requirements. Confirm that the 4-degree phase difference meets the strict symmetry requirements of the target differential signal path.

Balun Part Context

This balun belongs to the Xinger series of passive components designed for high-frequency applications. It serves as a critical interface element in modern wireless transceivers. The component addresses the need for compact, reliable signal conditioning in space-constrained mobile and IoT devices. Its construction supports automated assembly processes common in mass production environments.

Balun Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the same Xinger series that offer compatible impedance ratios. Verify that alternative parts maintain the 0404 footprint to ensure mechanical compatibility. Confirm that replacement components meet identical electrical thresholds for insertion loss and phase balance.
