D3C7012

RF Circulators And Isolators Overview

The D3C7012 is a three-port RF circulator manufactured by DiTom Microwave, designed for operation within the 7.00 to 12.40 GHz frequency range. It features SMA-FEMALE connectors and supports an average forward power of 25 W with a peak power rating of 500 W. Key electrical specifications include an insertion loss of 0.5 dB, isolation of 18 dB, and a VSWR of 1.3. The component is housed in a module package with SMA connectors.

RF Circulators And Isolators Feature Summary

• Provides non-reciprocal signal transmission across a wide microwave bandwidth
• Engineered for high-power handling capabilities up to 500 W peak
• Utilizes standard SMA-FEMALE interface for straightforward integration

RF Circulators And Isolators Applications

• Transmitter-receiver switching in radar systems
• Duplexing in communication equipment
• Signal routing in microwave test and measurement setups

RF Circulators And Isolators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., -1, -2, -3, -4) required for your connector configuration, as these variants exist within the D3C7012 series. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status and MSL level 1 requirements during sourcing. Ensure the selected variant matches the exact frequency and power specifications needed for the application.

RF Circulators And Isolators Selection Notes

Select this component when a broad 7-12.4 GHz operational range is required. Compare insertion loss and isolation metrics against system budget constraints. Consider the 25 W average power limit for thermal management. Verify that SMA-FEMALE connectors align with existing PCB or cable infrastructure.

RF Circulators And Isolators Part Context

This part belongs to the D3C7012 series of RF circulators from DiTom Microwave. Variants such as D3C7012-1, D3C7012-2, D3C7012-3, and D3C7012-4 share the core frequency and power specifications but may differ in connector configurations or physical dimensions. The series is categorized under RF isolators and circulators.

RF Circulators And Isolators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes are not explicitly confirmed in public documentation. Evaluate other DiTom models like D3C7011-5 for narrower bandwidth needs. Cross-reference pinouts and mechanical dimensions before replacing to ensure compatibility.
