RF Directional Couplers Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status as documentation indicates non-compliance. Confirm lead time requirements against project schedules, noting standard factory lead times may extend to 14 weeks. Ensure ordering quantities align with manufacturer packaging standards. Validate that the specific suffix matches the required electrical parameters for the target application design.

RF Directional Couplers Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact directional coupler is required for GSM band applications. The low profile LGA-4 package suits space-constrained designs. Verify that the 34.77 dBm power handling meets system peak power requirements. Consider the 0.25 dB insertion loss impact on overall link budget calculations before finalizing the schematic integration.
