CX2024NLT

Balun Overview

The CX2024NLT is an RF transformer manufactured by Pulse Electronics, designed for signal conversion applications. It operates within a frequency range of 50 MHz to 1 GHz. The component features a 1:1 turns ratio and supports balanced-to-unbalanced (balun) or unbalanced-to-balanced conversion with 75 Ohm impedance on both ports. It is housed in a compact 6-SMD surface-mount package. Key electrical specifications include a maximum insertion loss of 1.0 dB and a minimum return loss of -20 dB.

Balun Feature Summary

• Provides RF signal transformation between balanced and unbalanced lines
• Supports high-frequency operation up to 1 GHz
• Maintains consistent 75 Ohm impedance across input and output ports

Balun Applications

• RF signal path balancing in communication systems
• Impedance matching in 75 Ohm transmission line networks
• Signal conditioning in broadband RF circuits

Balun Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm package type and tape/reel configuration. Ensure the selected variant matches the required frequency range and impedance specifications for the target application. Cross-reference manufacturer part numbers with distributor codes to avoid substitution errors during procurement.

Balun Selection Notes

Select this component when a 75 Ohm balanced-to-unbalanced transformation is required in the 50 MHz to 1 GHz band. Consider the 6-SMD footprint for space-constrained PCB layouts. Evaluate insertion loss and return loss requirements to ensure signal integrity meets system performance standards.

Balun Part Context

This component belongs to the Pulse Electronics audio and signal transformers category, specifically within the RF transformers sub-class. It is part of a family of balun components designed for high-frequency signal processing. The NLT suffix typically indicates a tape-and-reel packaging format suitable for automated surface-mount assembly processes.

Balun Replacement Considerations

The CX2024NL is a related variant from the same manufacturer. Verify if the non-LT suffix differs in packaging or specific electrical tolerances before substituting. Ensure any replacement maintains the 75 Ohm impedance and 1:1 ratio requirements.
