DXP18BN5014TL

Balun Overview

The DXP18BN5014TL is a surface-mount balun transformer manufactured by Murata Electronics, designed for RF signal applications. It operates within a frequency range of 50 MHz to 870 MHz and features a single channel configuration. The component provides impedance transformation between an unbalanced port of 50 ohms and a balanced port of 200 ohms. It exhibits a maximum insertion loss of 1.5 dB and supports a power rating of 20 dBm. The device is housed in a compact 0603 (1608 metric) package with dimensions of 1.6 mm length and 0.8 mm width. It functions reliably within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Balun Feature Summary

• Provides impedance conversion from 50 ohms unbalanced to 200 ohms balanced
• Operates across a wide frequency spectrum from 50 MHz to 870 MHz
• Designed for high reliability with low insertion loss characteristics

Balun Applications

• RF front-end circuits requiring signal balancing
• Wireless communication modules operating in VHF/UHF bands
• Audio and signal transformer applications

Balun Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'TL' against the official Murata Manufacturing datasheet to confirm tape and reel packaging specifications. Confirm that the component status is treated as discontinued or end-of-life if sourcing through authorized channels, as availability may be limited. Ensure the 0603 footprint matches the target PCB design constraints before procurement.

Balun Selection Notes

Select this component when a 50-ohm to 200-ohm impedance transformation is required within the 50-870 MHz range. Consider the 0603 package size for space-constrained designs. Evaluate the 1.5 dB insertion loss limit against system sensitivity requirements. Verify thermal stability needs against the -40°C to +85°C operating range.

Balun Part Context
