CPL-5232-10-SMA-79

RF Directional Couplers Overview

The CPL-5232-10-SMA-79 is an RF directional coupler manufactured by Cinch Connectivity Solutions Midwest Microwave. It operates within a frequency range of 2 GHz to 18 GHz and provides a coupling factor of 10 dB. The component utilizes SMA connectors for interface connections. It is classified as a module with dimensions of 5.500 inches in length and 1.000 inch in width (139.70mm x 25.40mm). The device is currently active and available in bulk packaging.

RF Directional Couplers Feature Summary

• Provides precise signal sampling via a 10 dB coupling factor across the specified microwave frequency band.
• Features robust SMA connector interfaces ensuring reliable coaxial connectivity.
• Designed as a compact module suitable for integration into various RF test and measurement systems.

RF Directional Couplers Applications

• RF signal monitoring and power measurement in high-frequency circuits
• Test and measurement equipment requiring directional signal sampling
• Communication system analysis and characterization

RF Directional Couplers Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application environment does not require RoHS compliance, as this component is explicitly listed as non-compliant. Confirm that the SMA connector type matches the system interface requirements. Ensure the operating frequency range of 2 GHz to 18 GHz aligns with the intended signal spectrum. Check for any specific handling instructions regarding the module form factor during installation.

RF Directional Couplers Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 10 dB coupling ratio is required for signals between 2 GHz and 18 GHz. The SMA interface dictates compatibility with standard coaxial cabling. Consider the physical module dimensions if space constraints are critical. This part is suitable for applications needing directional coupling without variable adjustment capabilities.

RF Directional Couplers Part Context

This model belongs to the CPL series of directional couplers from Cinch Connectivity Solutions Midwest Microwave. It shares design characteristics with other models in the family, such as the CPL-5232-20-SMA-79, differing primarily in coupling factor and connector type. The series is designed for general-purpose RF applications requiring stable performance over a wide bandwidth.

RF Directional Couplers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the CPL-5232-20-SMA-79, which offers a 20 dB coupling factor instead of 10 dB. Models with different connector types, such as TNC variants, may fit mechanically but require adapter considerations. Verify that any replacement maintains the 2-18 GHz frequency range and SMA interface compatibility.
