D3C3841-4

RF Circulators And Isolators Overview

The DiTom Microwave D3C3841-4 is a circulator operating within the 38 GHz to 41 GHz frequency range. It features Type-K female connectors and is housed in a module package. The component supports an average forward power of 5 W, with an insertion loss of 1 dB, isolation of 17 dB, and a VSWR of 1.3. It complies with RoHS3 standards and has an MSL rating of 1.

RF Circulators And Isolators Feature Summary

• Provides directional signal flow control in the 38-41 GHz band
• Utilizes Type-K female connectors for interface compatibility
• Designed for high-frequency microwave applications

RF Circulators And Isolators Applications

• Microwave communication systems
• Test and measurement equipment
• Radar systems

RF Circulators And Isolators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector type (Type-K) against system requirements, as other variants like D3C3841Q use Type-N. Confirm that the 5 W power handling and 17 dB isolation meet design constraints. Check RoHS3 compliance status if required by project specifications. Ensure the module package fits the mechanical layout.

RF Circulators And Isolators Selection Notes

Select this part when a circulator is needed for the 38-41 GHz range with Type-K interfaces. Compare against isolator variants like D3I3841 if bidirectional isolation is sufficient. Consider the 1 dB insertion loss impact on system noise figure. Verify availability through authorized distributors as lead times may vary.

RF Circulators And Isolators Part Context

This component belongs to the D3C3841 series from DiTom Microwave, which includes various connector configurations such as Type-K and Type-N. The series covers both circulators and isolators within the same frequency band. Variants differ primarily in connector type and internal topology while maintaining similar electrical performance characteristics.

RF Circulators And Isolators Replacement Considerations

D3C3841-1 serves as a direct substitute with identical electrical specifications but uses Type-K female connectors. D3C3841Q offers the same performance but utilizes Type-N female connectors, requiring adapter consideration. D3I3841 is an isolator variant, not a circulator, and should only be considered if unidirectional isolation suffices.
