HHM1733B1

Balun Overview

The HHM1733B1 is a surface-mount RF balun manufactured by TDK Corporation, designed for commercial-grade applications. It operates within a frequency range of 4.9 GHz to 5.95 GHz, providing impedance transformation between 50 ohms and 50 ohms. The component utilizes a 0603 (1608 metric) package with dimensions of 1.60 mm length and 0.80 mm width. It features six side terminals and is supplied in tape and reel packaging containing 4000 pieces per 180mm roll with an 8mm width. The device supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Balun Feature Summary

• Provides balanced-to-unbalanced signal conversion for RF circuits
• Supports 50-ohm to 50-ohm impedance matching
• Utilizes a compact 0603 surface-mount footprint

Balun Applications

• Wireless LAN modules
• Bluetooth low energy transceivers
• Zigbee communication devices

Balun Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure the correct package variant and tape-and-reel specifications match the assembly requirements. Confirm that the commercial grade rating aligns with the environmental constraints of the target application. Cross-reference the datasheet parameters against the design-in specifications to guarantee compatibility with the intended RF circuit topology.

Balun Selection Notes

Select this component when a 50-ohm to 50-ohm balun is required for frequencies between 4.9 GHz and 5.95 GHz. The choice is driven by the need for a small 0603 footprint and side-terminal configuration suitable for high-density PCB layouts. Ensure the operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C meets the system's thermal requirements.

Balun Part Context

This part belongs to the HHM17 series of multilayer baluns from TDK Corporation. These components are engineered for use in wireless communication systems requiring reliable impedance transformation. The series offers various models tailored to different frequency bands and impedance ratios, all sharing a consistent surface-mount form factor for standardized manufacturing processes.

Balun Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution lists for compatible baluns within the same frequency band and impedance ratio. Verify mechanical compatibility with the 0603 footprint and terminal arrangement before replacing.
