D3C3841-1

RF Circulators And Isolators Overview

The D3C3841-1 is a single-junction RF circulator manufactured by DiTom Microwave, operating within the 38 GHz to 41 GHz frequency range. It features Type-K female connectors and is housed in a module package measuring 0.5 inches by 0.5 inches by 0.7 inches. The component supports an average forward power of 5 W, with an insertion loss of 1 dB and isolation of 17 dB. It maintains a VSWR of 1.3 and functions reliably between -20°C and +65°C.

RF Circulators And Isolators Feature Summary

• Provides directional signal routing for three-port RF applications
• Ensures high isolation between ports to minimize signal interference
• Maintains low insertion loss for efficient power transmission
• Supports standard Type-K female connector interfaces

RF Circulators And Isolators Applications

• Point-to-point microwave communication systems
• Radars and sensor networks
• Satellite ground station equipment
• Test and measurement instrumentation

RF Circulators And Isolators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector configuration required for your system design before ordering. Confirm that the operating environment remains within the specified temperature limits. Ensure that the input power does not exceed the rated average forward power capacity. Check for RoHS compliance requirements if applicable to your manufacturing standards.

RF Circulators And Isolators Selection Notes

Select this model when a 38 GHz to 41 GHz operational band is required. Choose based on the need for Type-K female connections rather than other interface types. Consider the physical dimensions for integration into existing module housings. Evaluate the thermal management capabilities against the specified operating temperature range.

RF Circulators And Isolators Part Context

This component belongs to the D3C series of RF circulators from DiTom Microwave. It shares the base product number D3C3841 with variants like the D3C3841Q-1, which differ primarily in connector type. The series focuses on millimeter-wave applications requiring compact, high-performance signal routing solutions.

RF Circulators And Isolators Replacement Considerations

The D3C3841Q-1 serves as a direct variant with Type-N female connectors instead of Type-K. Verify connector compatibility before substituting. Other models in the D3C3841 family may offer different port configurations or performance metrics.
