BP4U1+

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Overview

The BP4U1+ is a surface-mount RF power splitter/combiner manufactured by Mini-Circuits. It operates within a frequency range of 1850 MHz to 3000 MHz, providing four-way signal division or combination. The device maintains a system impedance of 50 Ohms and utilizes an SMD/SMT termination style for integration into printed circuit boards. Key electrical specifications include a minimum isolation of 15 dB, a maximum voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of 1.5, and a maximum imbalance of 28 degrees. It supports a power handling capability between 1 and 5 Watts and functions reliably across an operating temperature range from -40°C upwards.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official Mini-Circuits datasheet to ensure compatibility with required impedance and tolerance specifications. Confirm that the surface-mount package dimensions align with the target PCB footprint. Check current availability status as the component may be classified as non-stocked depending on regional distributor inventory levels.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Selection Notes

Select this component when a four-way split is required within the 1.85 GHz to 3 GHz frequency band. Ensure the application environment accommodates the specified power handling limits of up to 5 Watts. Consider the SMD package type for automated assembly processes. Validate that the 15 dB isolation specification meets the system's crosstalk requirements.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Part Context

This part belongs to the Mini-Circuits family of RF power splitters and combiners designed for high-reliability applications. The manufacturer emphasizes consistent performance and quality standards in their design and manufacturing facilities.
