RF Directional Couplers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version from Knowles Electronics or authorized distributors to confirm mechanical dimensions and electrical tolerances. Ensure compatibility with standard SMT reflow processes. Cross-reference part numbers such as 1761-FPC07183-TTR-ND for packaging details. Confirm that the 4-SMD no-lead package matches the target PCB footprint requirements before finalizing procurement.

RF Directional Couplers Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a 3 dB split in the Ka-band range. The branchline structure offers stable performance across the specified 24–33 GHz band. Consider the small 4-SMD footprint for space-constrained layouts. Verify impedance matching requirements against system specifications to ensure optimal signal integrity without additional external components.
