D3C2040-6

RF Circulators And Isolators Overview

The DiTom Microwave D3C2040-6 is a three-port RF circulator designed for the 2.00 to 4.00 GHz frequency range. It features SMA connectors with a Male, Male, and Female configuration. Key electrical specifications include an insertion loss of 0.5 dB, isolation of 18 dB, and a VSWR of 1.3:1. The device supports a power rating of 20 W and operates within a temperature range of 0°C to +55°C. Physical dimensions are 1.58 in x 0.7 in x 1.62 in, utilizing passivated stainless steel construction.

RF Circulators And Isolators Feature Summary

• Provides non-reciprocal signal routing across a defined microwave frequency band
• Utilizes gold-plated contacts on a passivated stainless steel housing
• Designed for solder tab mounting configurations

RF Circulators And Isolators Applications

• RF wireless communication systems
• Microwave circuit design requiring signal directionality
• Test and measurement instrumentation

RF Circulators And Isolators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender configuration (Male, Male, Female) against system requirements before ordering. Confirm that the 18 dB isolation and 0.5 dB insertion loss meet the specific link budget constraints. Ensure the operating temperature range of 0°C to +55°C aligns with the environmental conditions of the intended deployment scenario.

RF Circulators And Isolators Selection Notes

Select this component when a three-port circulator is required for the 2–4 GHz spectrum. Compare the 18 dB isolation specification against alternatives if higher isolation is necessary. Consider the physical footprint and solder tab installation style for PCB layout compatibility. Verify power handling capabilities relative to the maximum forward power expected in the application.

RF Circulators And Isolators Part Context

This part belongs to the D3C2040 series from DiTom Microwave, which includes variants such as D3C2040 and D3C2040-1. These components share similar frequency ranges and core performance metrics but may differ in connector configurations or specific isolation ratings. The series targets general-purpose RF applications requiring reliable signal circulation within the specified bandwidth.

RF Circulators And Isolators Replacement Considerations

The D3C2040 and D3C2040-1 are related models within the same product family. Verify connector pinouts and exact isolation values when substituting, as these parameters can vary between specific suffixes in the series.
