D4C0116-2

RF Circulators And Isolators Overview

The D4C0116-2 is a circulator manufactured by DiTom Microwave, designed for operation within the 1.4 GHz to 1.6 GHz frequency range. It features SMA-FEMALE connectors and is housed in a module package with SMA connector configuration. The component supports an average forward power of 200 W. Key electrical specifications include an insertion loss of 0.4 dB, an isolation rating of 20 dB, and a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of 1.25. This device is classified under RF Circulators and Isolators.

RF Circulators And Isolators Feature Summary

• Provides directional signal flow control within the specified microwave frequency band
• Engineered to handle high average forward power levels for robust performance
• Utilizes standard SMA-FEMALE interface connections for circuit integration

RF Circulators And Isolators Applications

• RF signal routing in communication systems
• Transmitter output protection in radar applications
• Isolation between amplifier stages in test equipment

RF Circulators And Isolators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against official DiTom Microwave documentation to confirm exact electrical tolerances and connector configurations. Ensure that the required operating frequency range aligns precisely with the 1.4 GHz to 1.6 GHz specification. Confirm compliance with RoHS3 standards if environmental regulations apply to the end-use application. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to validate current availability and lead times before finalizing procurement plans.

RF Circulators And Isolators Selection Notes

Select this component when a circulator with 20 dB isolation and 0.4 dB insertion loss is required for the 1.4-1.6 GHz band. Consider the 200 W average forward power rating to ensure compatibility with system power levels. Verify that SMA-FEMALE connectors match the existing board layout or cable assembly requirements. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the module packaging style and expected duty cycle.

RF Circulators And Isolators Part Context

This part belongs to the D4C0116 series from DiTom Microwave, which includes variants such as D4C0116-1 and D3C0116. While sharing similar frequency ranges and power ratings, specific models differ in isolation and insertion loss values. The D4C0116-2 specifically offers 20 dB isolation, distinguishing it from higher-isolation alternatives within the same product family line.

RF Circulators And Isolators Replacement Considerations

The D4C0116-1 serves as a direct functional substitute within the same series, offering identical frequency, power, and connector specifications with matching 20 dB isolation. Other variants like D3C0116 provide different isolation levels and should be evaluated carefully to ensure they meet the specific circuit requirements.
