ETC1-1T-2TR

Balun Overview

The ETC1-1T-2TR is a 1:1 RF transformer from MACOM Technology Solutions, designed for surface mount applications. It operates within a frequency range of 0.05 MHz to 3 MHz (or 100 kHz to 200 MHz per distributor specs). The component features an unbalanced impedance of 50 Ohms and maintains a phase difference of 5°. Maximum insertion loss is specified at 0.3 dB. It utilizes a 6-SMD package with 5 leads and flat leads, suitable for tape and reel packaging.

Balun Feature Summary

• Provides single-to-balanced mode conversion capabilities
• Facilitates impedance matching in RF circuits
• Utilizes a low-cost surface mount package design

Balun Applications

• Single to balanced mode conversion
• Impedance matching networks
• Wireless communication systems
• RF signal processing

Balun Procurement Notes

Verify the specific frequency range and insertion loss specifications against the official MACOM datasheet, as distributor listings may vary between 0.05-3 MHz and 100 kHz-200 MHz ranges. Confirm that the 6-SMD 5-lead package matches the target PCB footprint. Ensure the order suffix TR corresponds to the required tape and reel quantity for production integration.

Balun Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact 1:1 RF transformer is required for low-frequency or broadband applications up to 200 MHz. Consider the 50 Ohm unbalanced input impedance and minimal phase shift for precision signal balancing tasks. Evaluate the surface mount form factor for automated assembly processes and space-constrained designs.

Balun Part Context
