RF Directional Couplers Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status carefully, as documentation indicates variations between RoHS3 compliant and non-compliant versions for similar part numbers in this series. Confirm the specific suffix designation matches the required environmental standards for your project. Ensure the ordering quantity aligns with the manufacturer's standard packaging requirements to avoid fulfillment delays or minimum order constraints.

RF Directional Couplers Selection Notes

Select this component when a 20 dB coupling ratio is required for AMPS band frequencies. The 0603 package size dictates board layout constraints. Verify that the 3 W power rating exceeds the maximum expected RF power in the transmission line. Consider the 0.25 dB insertion loss impact on overall system gain. Ensure the operating temperature range covers the intended environmental conditions.

RF Directional Couplers Part Context

This part belongs to the CP0603 High Directivity series from KYOCERA AVX. It is categorized under RF directional couplers within the signal conditioning product line. The series utilizes thin film technology to achieve high directivity in a small form factor. It serves as a passive component for separating forward and reflected signals in RF paths.

RF Directional Couplers Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Cross-referencing requires matching the 824-849 MHz frequency range, 20 dB coupling factor, and 0603 package dimensions. Consult manufacturer catalogs for alternative series members with compatible electrical specifications.
