• Broadband multi-octave design utilizing LTCC technology
• Temperature stable construction with welded assembly

RF Directional Couplers Applications

• CATV and broadband access systems
• DOCSIS 3.1 and 4.0 network architectures
• RF signal monitoring and sampling circuits

RF Directional Couplers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'LX' against the manufacturer's current documentation to confirm package dimensions and pin configuration. Ensure the 75 Ohm impedance requirement matches the system design. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official datasheets before integration into regulated environments.

RF Directional Couplers Selection Notes

Select this component when a 75 Ohm interface is required for frequencies extending up to 1.5 GHz. The 13 dB coupling value suits applications needing moderate signal sampling without significant insertion loss. The surface mount format facilitates automated PCB assembly processes.

RF Directional Couplers Part Context

This part belongs to the DBTC series of surface mount directional couplers from Mini-Circuits. The series utilizes Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) technology to achieve compact form factors and reliable performance in passive RF applications.

RF Directional Couplers Replacement Considerations

The DBTC-13-5-75+ is a related variant within the same product family. Verify if the standard packaging or specific mechanical tolerances differ between the LX suffix and other available options in the catalog.
