BD2425N50200AHF

Balun Overview

The BD2425N50200AHF is an ultra-low profile surface-mount balun manufactured by TTM Technologies. It operates within a frequency range of 2.4 to 2.5 GHz, converting between 50-ohm unbalanced and 200-ohm balanced ports. The component features an insertion loss of 0.6 to 0.7 dB, amplitude balance of ±0.5 to 1 dB, and phase balance of 2 to 6 degrees. It supports 1 W power handling with return loss between 21 and 27 dB. Housed in a 0404 (1010 metric) package, it functions reliably from -55°C to +85°C.

Balun Feature Summary

• Converts signals between 50-ohm unbalanced and 200-ohm balanced configurations
• Ultra-low profile design suitable for space-constrained applications
• Surface-mount termination for automated board assembly

Balun Applications

• Wireless LAN modules operating at 2.4 GHz
• Bluetooth transceiver circuits
• ISM band signal conditioning

Balun Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'AHF' against official TTM Technologies documentation to confirm RoHS compliance status and exact electrical tolerances. Ensure the 0404 footprint matches the target PCB layout. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to validate performance parameters such as insertion loss and power handling capabilities before finalizing procurement specifications.

Balun Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1:4 impedance transformation ratio is required for 2.4–2.5 GHz applications. The 200-ohm balanced port distinguishes it from standard 50-ohm baluns. Consider the 0404 package size for high-density designs. Verify thermal management requirements given the -55°C to +85°C operating range and 1 W power rating.
