CX2045ALNLT

Balun Overview

The CX2045ALNLT is an RF transformer manufactured by Pulse Electronics, designed for wideband applications. It features a single-ended to center-tapped secondary configuration with a 1:2CT impedance ratio. The component operates within a frequency range of 3 MHz to 30 MHz and utilizes surface mount technology (SMD) for integration into printed circuit boards.

Balun Feature Summary

• Provides balanced-to-unbalanced signal conversion via a 1:2 center-tapped secondary winding.
• Engineered for wideband radio frequency signal transmission and processing.
• Utilizes a compact surface mount package suitable for automated assembly processes.

Balun Applications

• Wideband RF signal conditioning circuits
• Balun implementations in communication systems
• RF front-end interface matching networks

Balun Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'LNLT' against official datasheets to confirm packaging type and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the 3-30 MHz operational range aligns with target application requirements before procurement. Cross-reference manufacturer part numbers with distributor aliases to prevent ordering errors due to variant differences.

Balun Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1:2 center-tapped impedance transformation is required within the 3-30 MHz band. Compare insertion loss and return loss specifications against system budget constraints. Evaluate physical dimensions and thermal characteristics relative to available board space and operating environment conditions.

Balun Part Context

This component belongs to the CX series of audio and signal transformers from Pulse Electronics. It serves as a specialized RF transformer distinct from general-purpose power or audio transformers. The product line focuses on providing reliable impedance matching and signal balancing for high-frequency electronic applications.
