RF Directional Couplers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'BWTR' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm the exact coupling tolerance and package variant. Ensure the ordering quantity aligns with the standard tape-and-reel configuration provided by authorized distributors. Cross-reference the RoHS status and MSL rating with current project requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

RF Directional Couplers Selection Notes

Select this component when a 19dB coupling factor is required for the 1.8-1.9GHz band. The 0603 footprint allows for space-constrained PCB layouts. Consider the 3W power handling limit for system design margins. Compare isolation and return loss specifications against alternative models if strict signal integrity is critical for the specific application environment.

RF Directional Couplers Part Context

This part belongs to the CP series of RF directional couplers from KYOCERA AVX. These components are engineered for wireless communication devices requiring compact signal sampling solutions. The series leverages advanced thin-film deposition techniques to achieve consistent electrical performance across varying temperature conditions while maintaining a small physical profile.

RF Directional Couplers Replacement Considerations

Consult the official replacement matrix for direct equivalents. Verify that substitute parts match the 1.805-1.88GHz frequency range and 19dB coupling specification. Ensure the alternative component maintains the same 0603 package dimensions and pinout configuration to guarantee mechanical compatibility.
