CPL-5213-20-NNN-79

RF Directional Couplers Overview

The CPL-5213-20-NNN-79 is a directional coupler manufactured by Cinch Connectivity Solutions Midwest Microwave. It operates within a frequency range of 2.6 GHz to 5.2 GHz and provides a nominal coupling coefficient of 20 dB. The component features SMA connectors for input, output, and coupled ports, with the NNN designation indicating interchangeable connector options. Key electrical specifications include a maximum insertion loss of 0.25 dB, a typical directivity of 20 dB, and a maximum voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of 1.25. It supports a maximum power handling capacity of 50 watts.

RF Directional Couplers Feature Summary

• Provides precise signal sampling via a 20 dB coupling coefficient across a wide microwave bandwidth.
• Features low insertion loss to minimize signal attenuation in high-frequency transmission lines.
• Offers flexible connectivity through interchangeable port configurations including SMA and TNC interfaces.

RF Directional Couplers Applications

• RF signal monitoring and measurement systems
• Transmitter power output monitoring
• Reflection coefficient measurements using bidirectional coupler setups
• Feedback control loops in RF amplifiers

RF Directional Couplers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector type required for your application, as the 'NNN' suffix indicates that connector variants such as SMA or TNC are available. Confirm the exact part number suffix matches your interface needs before ordering. Ensure compatibility with the system's frequency range of 2.6 GHz to 5.2 GHz. Check for any specific datasheet revisions that may affect mechanical dimensions or electrical tolerances. Validate that the 50-watt power rating aligns with your operational requirements.

RF Directional Couplers Selection Notes

Select this component when a 20 dB coupling factor is required for the 2.6–5.2 GHz band. Consider the VSWR of 1.25 for applications demanding minimal signal reflection. Choose between SMA or TNC connectors based on existing infrastructure. Evaluate the 50-watt power limit against peak and average power levels. Ensure the compact form factor fits within the designated assembly space.
