RF Circulators And Isolators Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status and specific datasheet revisions before procurement. Confirm that the SMA-Female connector orientation matches the system requirements. Ensure the operating environment stays within the -10 C to +85 C limit to maintain specified electrical performance. Check for any ECCN EAR99 export classification restrictions relevant to your region.

RF Circulators And Isolators Selection Notes

Select this model when a 3-port circulator is required for the 8-20 GHz band. The 10 W power handling and 15 dB isolation are suitable for moderate power applications. Consider the 0.5 in x 0.5 in footprint for space-constrained designs. Verify that the 1 dB insertion loss meets the system budget constraints.

RF Circulators And Isolators Part Context

This part belongs to the D3C8020 series of RF circulators from DiTom Microwave. The series offers various connector configurations for the same frequency range. The D3C8020-7 specifically utilizes SMA-Female connectors on all ports, distinguishing it from other variants in the family that may use different interface types.

RF Circulators And Isolators Replacement Considerations

Other models in the D3C8020 series such as D3C8020-2, D3C8020-3, D3C8020-4, D3C8020-5, and D3C8020-6 share similar electrical characteristics but differ in connector configuration. Verify mechanical compatibility before substitution.
