D3C1012-2

RF Circulators And Isolators Overview

The D3C1012-2 is a three-port RF circulator manufactured by DiTom Microwave, operating within the frequency range of 10.7 GHz to 12.75 GHz. It features SMA female connectors on all ports and supports an average forward power of 10 W. Key electrical specifications include a maximum insertion loss of 0.3 dB, isolation of 23 dB, and a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of 1.2. The component utilizes a single junction design housed in a module with SMA connectors.

RF Circulators And Isolators Feature Summary

• Provides non-reciprocal signal routing for three-port microwave applications
• Utilizes SMA female connector interfaces for standardized integration
• Designed for high isolation and low insertion loss performance

RF Circulators And Isolators Applications

• Transmitter-receiver switching systems
• Duplexer circuits in communication equipment
• Antenna sharing networks

RF Circulators And Isolators Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required connector configuration, as variations exist within the D3C1012 series. Confirm RoHS compliance status and environmental ratings against project requirements. Ensure interface compatibility with existing SMA fixtures. Review manufacturer documentation for precise mechanical dimensions and thermal management guidelines before finalizing procurement.

RF Circulators And Isolators Selection Notes

Select this component when a three-port circulator is required for the 10.7–12.75 GHz band. The D3C1012-2 variant specifically offers SMA female connectors on all ports, distinguishing it from other series members with mixed male/female configurations. Evaluate power handling and VSWR limits to ensure suitability for the intended signal path.

RF Circulators And Isolators Part Context

This part belongs to the D3C1012 series of RF circulators produced by DiTom Microwave. The series covers the Ku-band frequency range and includes variants with different connector polarities. The D3C1012-2 is one of several options designed for modular integration into microwave assemblies requiring directional signal flow control.

RF Circulators And Isolators Replacement Considerations

The D3C1012-4 and D3C1012-6 are alternative parts within the same series offering identical electrical performance but differing connector configurations. Verify port polarity requirements before substitution.
