D4I7018-2

RF Circulators And Isolators Overview

The DiTom Microwave D4I7018-2 is an RF isolator designed for the 7.00 to 18.00 GHz frequency range. It features SMA-FEMALE connectors and utilizes a module package with SMA connector configuration. The component supports an average forward power of 10 W, providing 30 dB of isolation. Technical specifications include an insertion loss of 2 dB and a VSWR of 1.5. This device is currently in active production status.

RF Circulators And Isolators Feature Summary

• Provides signal isolation within the 7.00 to 18.00 GHz operational bandwidth
• Utilizes SMA-FEMALE interface connectors for circuit integration
• Supports 10 W average forward power handling capability

RF Circulators And Isolators Applications

• RF signal path protection in microwave systems
• Transmitter output isolation
• Receiver input protection

RF Circulators And Isolators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet for the D4I7018-2 variant against the D4I7018-3 data found in distributor records, as both share the same base model number but differ in electrical parameters such as isolation and insertion loss. Confirm that the -2 suffix corresponds to the intended 10 W power rating and 30 dB isolation specification before procurement to ensure design compatibility.

RF Circulators And Isolators Selection Notes

Select this component when a wideband 7-18 GHz isolator is required with moderate power handling. Compare the 10 W power rating and 30 dB isolation against system requirements. Ensure the SMA-FEMALE connector type matches the PCB or cable assembly interface. Verify thermal management needs for continuous 10 W operation.

RF Circulators And Isolators Part Context

This part belongs to the DiTom Microwave D4I7018 series of RF isolators. The series covers the C-band through Ku-band frequencies. Variants within the series, such as D4I7018-3, offer different performance trade-offs regarding isolation and insertion loss while maintaining the same physical footprint and connector style.

RF Circulators And Isolators Replacement Considerations

Public documentation lists D4I7018-3 as a related variant within the same product family. Both share the 7-18 GHz frequency range and SMA-FEMALE connectors. However, D4I7018-3 specifies 10 W power and 30 dB isolation, which aligns with the D4I7018-2 description. Verify exact pinout and mechanical dimensions before substitution.
