RF Directional Couplers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CNTR' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm the exact tape-and-reel packaging configuration and quantity per reel. Ensure that the ordering information matches the required frequency range and power ratings for the intended circuit design before finalizing procurement orders.

RF Directional Couplers Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact 0402 footprint is required for RF signal sampling at frequencies near 1.9GHz. Consider the 22dB coupling factor and 3W power limit to ensure compatibility with system signal levels. Evaluate the -53dB isolation specification for necessary crosstalk suppression requirements in dense RF layouts.

RF Directional Couplers Part Context

This part belongs to the CP series of wideband couplers from KYOCERA AVX. These components are engineered to deliver consistent performance across broad frequency ranges while maintaining a small physical profile. The series is designed to support modern electronic designs requiring reliable RF signal directionality in minimal board space.

RF Directional Couplers Replacement Considerations

Consult official KYOCERA AVX documentation for verified substitute part numbers. Cross-reference frequency ranges, coupling coefficients, and power handling capabilities to ensure functional equivalence. Do not assume interchangeability based solely on package size or general category classification.
