CP0603A1060ALTR

RF Directional Couplers Overview

The CP0603A1060ALTR is a thin-film directional coupler manufactured by KYOCERA AVX, designed for signal conditioning applications. It operates within a frequency range of 925 MHz to 960 MHz and features a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms. The component utilizes an LGA-4 package with dimensions corresponding to the 0603 (1608 metric) case size. Key electrical specifications include a maximum insertion loss of 0.25 dB and a maximum continuous input power rating of 3W (34.77 dBm). The device supports a minimum operating temperature of -40°C and a maximum operating temperature of +85°C.

RF Directional Couplers Feature Summary

• Utilizes integrated thin-film multilayer technology for miniature construction and high-frequency performance.
• Features Land Grid Array (LGA) termination for self-alignment during reflow and low parasitics.
• Provides high directivity suitable for precise signal monitoring in wireless systems.

RF Directional Couplers Applications

• E-GSM band signal monitoring
• High-frequency wireless system components
• RF signal conditioning circuits

RF Directional Couplers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturing lot date code and RoHS compliance status prior to ordering, as historical data indicates potential variations in lead content for this series. Confirm that the LGA-4 package orientation matches the target PCB footprint design. Ensure thermal management strategies account for the 3W continuous power rating during operation at elevated temperatures up to 85°C.

RF Directional Couplers Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, high-directivity solution is required for the 925-960 MHz frequency band. The LGA-4 package offers superior solderability and heat dissipation compared to traditional SMD terminations. Consider the 0.25 dB insertion loss limit for sensitive RF paths where signal integrity is critical. This part is suitable for automatic assembly processes due to its self-aligning land grid array structure.
