RF Directional Couplers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version from KYOCERA AVX to confirm electrical tolerances and thermal characteristics. Ensure compatibility with 2816 SMD reflow profiles during assembly. Cross-reference the 4-SMD no-lead package dimensions against PCB layout requirements to guarantee proper solder joint integrity and mechanical stability.

RF Directional Couplers Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed -15 dB coupling factor is required for the 225-512 MHz band. The 20W power rating dictates suitability for higher-power transmitter paths. The 50-ohm impedance matches standard RF system architectures. Consider the 2816 surface-mount form factor for space-constrained designs requiring robust thermal dissipation.
