D4C1826-3

RF Circulators And Isolators Overview

The DiTom Microwave D4C1826-3 is a four-port RF circulator designed for the 18.00 to 26.50 GHz frequency range. It features Type-K female connectors and operates within a temperature range of -20°C to +65°C. The component has physical dimensions of 1 inch by 0.5 inches by 0.7 inches. Key electrical specifications include an isolation of 18 dB, insertion loss of 0.8 dB, and a VSWR of 1.4:1. It supports a power rating of 10 W and utilizes a dual junction construction.

RF Circulators And Isolators Feature Summary

• Provides directional signal routing with high isolation in the K-band spectrum
• Features robust dual junction construction for stable performance
• Utilizes gold-plated contacts on passivated stainless steel housing

RF Circulators And Isolators Applications

• K-band radar systems
• Point-to-point microwave communication links
• Satellite ground station uplink/downlink configurations

RF Circulators And Isolators Procurement Notes

Verify specific connector gender configuration against official datasheets, as variations exist within the D4C1826 series. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors prior to ordering. Ensure thermal management requirements align with the specified operating temperature limits during system integration.

RF Circulators And Isolators Selection Notes

Select this model when a four-port circular device is required for frequencies between 18 and 26.5 GHz. Compare against three-port variants if only two ports are needed. Verify that the 10 W power handling capacity meets system peak power demands. Check mechanical fitment against the 1x0.5x0.7 inch form factor constraints.

RF Circulators And Isolators Part Context

This part belongs to the D4C1826 series of RF circulators from DiTom Microwave. It shares the same frequency band and general electrical characteristics with other series members like D4C1826K-1 and D4C1826K-4, differing primarily in port count and connector type. It serves as a passive component for managing signal flow in high-frequency microwave circuits.

RF Circulators And Isolators Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Cross-reference with D4C1826K-1 or D4C1826K-4 only if port configuration and connector types match exactly.
