D3C1012-1

RF Circulators And Isolators Overview

The DiTom Microwave D3C1012-1 is a three-port RF circulator operating within the 8.0 GHz to 12.4 GHz frequency range. It features SMA connectors with a Male-Male-Female configuration and utilizes a single junction design. The component supports an average forward power of 10 W, maintains a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of 1.2, and provides isolation of 23 dB minimum. Insertion loss is specified at 0.3 dB. Physical dimensions are 0.5 inches by 0.5 inches by 0.7 inches, with an operating temperature range from -30°C to +65°C.

RF Circulators And Isolators Feature Summary

• Provides non-reciprocal signal routing for three-port microwave applications
• Utilizes a single junction ferrite structure for compact module integration
• Features SMA female connector interface on one port for system compatibility

RF Circulators And Isolators Applications

• Transmitter-receiver switching in radar systems
• Duplexing in communication transceivers
• Isolation in microwave measurement setups

RF Circulators And Isolators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector polarity configuration required for your circuit design, as the D3C1012 series includes variants with different male-female arrangements. Confirm that the 8.0–12.4 GHz frequency range aligns with your operational bandwidth requirements before procurement. Ensure environmental conditions remain within the specified -30°C to +65°C operating temperature limits for reliable performance.

RF Circulators And Isolators Selection Notes

Select this model when a 8.0–12.4 GHz circulator with SMA interfaces is required. Compare against other D3C1012 suffixes if different connector polarities are needed. Consider the 10 W power handling limit and 23 dB isolation specification for system matching. Verify physical footprint constraints against the 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.7 inch module size.

RF Circulators And Isolators Part Context

The D3C1012-1 belongs to the D3C1012 series of RF circulators manufactured by DiTom Microwave. This series covers the 8.0–12.4 GHz band and offers various connector configurations distinguished by numerical suffixes. The product is classified under RF Circulators and Isolators and is currently active in the manufacturer's portfolio.

RF Circulators And Isolators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other D3C1012 variants such as D3C1012-2 or D3C1012-6, which share identical electrical specifications but differ in connector polarity. Cross-reference with generic 8–12.4 GHz SMA circulators only if connector types can be adapted.
