RF Diode Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm packaging orientation and quantity. The -TR1G suffix indicates a 3000-piece tape and reel format conforming to RS-481 standards. Ensure compatibility with automated placement equipment regarding device orientation and cavity dimensions during procurement planning.

RF Diode Selection Notes

Select this component when a common anode PIN diode configuration is required for RF signal routing. The 200 V breakdown voltage provides high isolation capabilities compared to lower voltage variants. Verify that the 0.3 pF total capacitance meets the specific insertion loss requirements of the target frequency band.

RF Diode Part Context

This part belongs to the HSMP-383x series of general-purpose PIN diodes designed for surface mount assembly. Unlike the HSMP-386x series which offers guaranteed performance specifications, the 383x series provides typical electrical characteristics suitable for standard design applications. The series includes single, series, common anode, and common cathode configurations.
