RF Directional Couplers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm packaging quantity and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with standard 0603 footprints during PCB layout. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required for specific regional regulations, as variations may exist within the series.

RF Directional Couplers Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, high-directivity coupler is needed at 902 MHz. Consider the 3W power limit and 50 Ohm system impedance. Evaluate thermal management requirements due to the small 0603 form factor. Compare against LP series filters if filtering rather than coupling is the primary goal.

RF Directional Couplers Part Context

This part belongs to the CP0603 series of high-directivity thin-film directional couplers from KYOCERA AVX. These components are engineered for space-constrained RF designs, offering reliable signal sampling in cellular and IoT modules. The series complements the company's broader portfolio of SAW filters and passive components.
