D3C1012

RF Circulators And Isolators Overview

The DiTom Microwave D3C1012 is a three-port RF circulator designed for the K-band frequency range of 10.7 GHz to 12.75 GHz. It features SMA female connectors and supports an average forward power of 10 W. Key electrical specifications include a maximum insertion loss of 0.3 dB, an isolation of 23 dB, and a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of 1.2. The device operates within a temperature range of -30°C to +65°C and has physical dimensions of 0.5 in x 0.5 in x 0.7 in.

RF Circulators And Isolators Feature Summary

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

RF Circulators And Isolators Applications

• K-band radar systems
• Microwave communication links
• Test and measurement instrumentation

RF Circulators And Isolators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector configuration required for your design, as variants such as the D3C1012-4 may feature mixed male and female ports while the base D3C1012 typically specifies SMA female. Confirm RoHS3 compliance and EAR99 classification for export requirements. Ensure the 10 W power rating aligns with your system's thermal management capabilities.

RF Circulators And Isolators Selection Notes

Select this component when operating strictly within the 10.7–12.75 GHz band. Consider the 0.3 dB insertion loss limit for sensitive link budgets. Verify that the 10 W average power handling meets peak duty cycle requirements. Check mechanical fit against the 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.7 inch module footprint.
