FT-1.5-1*C16+

Balun Overview

The FT-1.5-1*C16+ is an RF balun module manufactured by Mini-Circuits, designed for signal transformation within the 100 kHz to 400 MHz frequency range. It features a 1:1.5 impedance ratio and operates with a standard 50 Ω system impedance. The component utilizes a core and wire construction method, housed in the H16 case style. This configuration supports balanced-to-unbalanced or unbalanced-to-balanced conversion functions essential for RF circuit interfacing.

Balun Feature Summary

• Provides 1:1.5 impedance transformation between balanced and unbalanced ports
• Operates across a wide frequency spectrum from 100 kHz to 400 MHz
• Constructed using core and wire technology for reliable signal integrity

Balun Applications

• RF signal balancing and unbalancing in communication systems
• Interfacing balanced components with 50 Ω unbalanced transmission lines
• Wireless infrastructure signal processing modules

Balun Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version corresponding to the FT-1.5-1*C16+ designation to confirm electrical parameters such as insertion loss and return loss. Ensure the H16 package dimensions match your PCB layout requirements. Confirm that the 1:1.5 impedance ratio aligns with your circuit design needs rather than standard 1:1 configurations.

Balun Selection Notes

Select this component when a non-standard 1:1.5 impedance transformation is required within the sub-GHz frequency range. It is suitable for applications needing compact core and wire transformer solutions. Consider the H16 footprint constraints during integration. Verify compatibility with operating frequencies up to 400 MHz to ensure performance stability.
