RF Directional Couplers Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status carefully as documentation indicates non-compliance for this specific suffix variant. Confirm the exact coupling tolerance and insertion loss values against the latest manufacturer datasheet prior to design finalization. Ensure the 0805 footprint matches the target PCB layout constraints. Check for any updated environmental declarations or REACH status changes before procurement approval.

RF Directional Couplers Selection Notes

Select this component when a 10dB coupling ratio is required for 2.4GHz ISM band operations. Compare insertion loss specifications against system budget requirements. Evaluate the 3W power handling capability against peak signal levels. Consider the 0805 package size relative to available board space compared to other series variants like the B or C suffix models.
