CP0402P0942ANTR

RF Directional Couplers Overview

The CP0402P0942ANTR is a unidirectional RF directional coupler manufactured by KYOCERA AVX, designed for GSM applications within the 925MHz to 960MHz frequency range. It features a standard coupling coefficient of 18dB and supports a maximum power handling capacity of 3W. The component exhibits an insertion loss of 0.25dB and provides isolation of -46dB with a return loss of 27dB. Packaged in a compact 0402 (1005 metric) surface-mount footprint, it utilizes thin-film technology for high directivity and tight coupling tolerance.

RF Directional Couplers Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status as specific documentation indicates non-compliance for similar series parts; confirm REACH restrictions. Ensure supply chain sources provide valid datasheets matching the 0402 package and 925-960MHz specifications. Check manufacturer lead times and minimum order quantities directly with authorized distributors.

RF Directional Couplers Selection Notes

Select this component when a 18dB coupling factor is required for GSM band monitoring. The 0402 package size dictates board layout constraints. Verify that the 3W power rating aligns with system peak power levels. Consider thermal management requirements due to the small form factor and high power density.

RF Directional Couplers Part Context

This part belongs to the CP0402P series of thin-film RF directional couplers from KYOCERA AVX. These components are engineered for high-frequency signal conditioning and monitoring applications. The series offers various coupling factors and frequency ranges tailored for wireless communication standards.

RF Directional Couplers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 0402 GSM-band couplers with 18dB coupling, such as the CP0402A0942BLTR, provided pinout and electrical parameters match exactly. Verify functional equivalence before substitution.
