D4C6012-5

RF Circulators And Isolators Overview

The D4C6012-5 is an RF circulator manufactured by DiTom Microwave, operating within a frequency range of 6.00 to 12.40 GHz. It features SMA-FEMALE connectors and supports an average forward power of 10 W with a peak power rating of 20 W. Key electrical specifications include an insertion loss of 0.3 dB, an isolation of 23 dB, and a VSWR of 1.2. The component is housed in a module package with dimensions of 1.24 inches by 0.5 inches by 0.78 inches.

RF Circulators And Isolators Feature Summary

• Provides non-reciprocal signal routing for three-port RF applications
• Ensures low signal attenuation through optimized insertion loss characteristics
• Delivers high port-to-port isolation to prevent signal interference

RF Circulators And Isolators Applications

• Transmitter-receiver switching in radar systems
• Duplexing in communication transceivers
• Isolation between amplifier stages in RF chains

RF Circulators And Isolators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector configuration and physical dimensions against the official datasheet before integration. Confirm that the average and peak power ratings align with system requirements. Ensure environmental compliance standards are met for the intended deployment environment.

RF Circulators And Isolators Selection Notes

Select this model when a wide bandwidth covering 6 to 12.4 GHz is required. Consider the 10 W average power limit for thermal management. Compare VSWR and isolation metrics against other models like D4C7012-5 if higher frequency performance is needed.

RF Circulators And Isolators Part Context

This part belongs to the D4C series of RF circulators from DiTom Microwave. It shares design similarities with models such as D4C8012-2 and D4C7011-3 but differs in frequency coverage and power handling capabilities. The series utilizes SMA connectors for standard interface compatibility.

RF Circulators And Isolators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include D4C7012-5 and D4C8012-2, though these offer different frequency ranges and power ratings. Verify dimensional and electrical compatibility before swapping.
