D3I4042

RF Circulators And Isolators Overview

The D3I4042 is a Type-K female connectorized ferrite isolator manufactured by DiTom Microwave. It operates within the 40.00 GHz to 42.00 GHz frequency range. The component provides an isolation of 20dB with an insertion loss of 0.8dB. It supports an average forward power of 5W and maintains a VSWR of 1.25. The device is housed in a module package.

RF Circulators And Isolators Feature Summary

• Provides signal isolation in the 40-42 GHz millimeter-wave spectrum
• Utilizes Type-K female connectors for interface compatibility
• Designed as a single junction ferrite component

RF Circulators And Isolators Applications

• Millimeter-wave communication systems
• Satellite ground station equipment
• High-frequency radar transceivers

RF Circulators And Isolators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector configuration required for your system, as the base model D3I4042 may have variants such as D3I4042-1 or D3I4042Q-3 with different interfaces like 2.4mm or male connectors. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status and check current availability through authorized distributors, as lead times vary. Ensure the 5W power rating meets your application's thermal requirements.

RF Circulators And Isolators Selection Notes

Select this component when a 40-42 GHz isolator with Type-K female connectors is required. Compare against variants like D3I4042Q-3 if 2.4mm connectors are needed instead. Consider the 0.8dB insertion loss and 20dB isolation specs for signal integrity. Verify that the module package fits your mechanical constraints and that the 5W power handling is sufficient for your forward power levels.

RF Circulators And Isolators Part Context

DiTom Microwave specializes in high-quality connectorized ferrite isolators and circulators ranging from 400 MHz to 43.5 GHz. The D3I4042 belongs to their line of RF isolators designed for millimeter-wave applications. This part number represents the core product family before specific connector suffixes are applied.

RF Circulators And Isolators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include D3I4042-1 and D3I4042-2, which share the same frequency range but may differ in connector type. D3I4042Q-3 offers similar performance but uses 2.4mm male connectors instead of Type-K female. Verify interface compatibility before substitution.
