CX2100NL

Balun Overview

The CX2100NL is an RF balun transformer manufactured by Pulse Electronics, designed for high-frequency signal conversion applications. It features a single-channel configuration with a turns ratio of 1.4:1 center-tapped (CT). The component operates effectively up to a frequency of 1000 MHz, making it suitable for broadband RF circuits. Constructed as a signal transformer, it facilitates balanced-to-unbalanced signal transitions in compact electronic designs requiring reliable RF performance within specified frequency bands.

Balun Feature Summary

• Provides balanced-to-unbalanced signal conversion via a 1.4:1 center-tapped transformer design
• Operates at radio frequencies up to 1000 MHz for broadband application support
• Single-channel architecture optimized for compact RF circuit integration

Balun Applications

• RF signal processing circuits requiring balanced-to-unbalanced conversion
• Broadband communication systems operating near 1000 MHz
• Wireless infrastructure components utilizing RF transformers

Balun Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package type and manufacturing date code upon order confirmation, as packaging details may vary by production batch. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributor before finalizing procurement decisions. Ensure that the 1.4:1 CT specification aligns precisely with your schematic requirements to avoid impedance mismatch issues in the final assembly.

Balun Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel RF balun with a 1.4:1 center-tapped ratio is required for frequencies up to 1000 MHz. It is appropriate for designs needing compact signal transformation without complex multi-stage filtering. Evaluate the physical footprint constraints against available space, as precise dimensional data is not provided in general summaries. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB layout guidelines for RF components.

Balun Part Context

The CX2100NL belongs to the family of RF transformers produced by Pulse Electronics. These components are engineered for signal integrity in high-frequency environments. Unlike power inductors or common mode chokes, this part specifically addresses balanced-to-unbalanced conversion needs in RF pathways, serving as a critical interface element in wireless transmission and reception modules.
