HSMS-8202-TR1

RF Diode Overview

The HSMS-8202-TR1 is a surface mount microwave Schottky mixer diode manufactured by Broadcom Limited. It is optimized for operation in the 10–14 GHz frequency range and housed in a plastic SOT-23 package. Key electrical specifications include a breakdown voltage of 4 V, total capacitance of 0.26 pF at 0 V reverse bias, and dynamic resistance of 14 Ω at 5 mA forward current. The device exhibits a typical conversion loss of 6.3 dB at 12 GHz with 1 mW local oscillator power. The -TR1 suffix indicates a tape and reel configuration containing 3,000 units.

RF Diode Feature Summary

• Optimized for X-band and Ku-band applications
• Low capacitance and low dynamic resistance characteristics
• Lead-free plastic SOT-23 surface mount packaging

RF Diode Applications

• DBS downconverter circuits
• VSAT downconverter systems
• Microwave mixer designs operating between 10 and 14 GHz

RF Diode Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the packaging format. The -TR1 designation corresponds to a 3,000-piece tape and reel configuration. Confirm that the component meets lead-free requirements if necessary for assembly processes. Ensure compatibility with standard automated placement equipment regarding tape dimensions and device orientation.

RF Diode Selection Notes

Select this component when designing mixers for the 10–14 GHz band requiring low conversion loss. The SOT-23 package suits space-constrained layouts. Consider the 0.26 pF capacitance for high-frequency performance. Verify thermal dissipation limits against the application's power requirements. Match pairs or quads may be required for balanced mixer topologies.

RF Diode Part Context

This part belongs to the HSMS-8101/8202/8207/8209 family of surface mount microwave Schottky mixer diodes. These devices share similar electrical profiles but differ in internal configurations such as single, pair, quad, ring, or cross-over arrangements. The HSMS-8202 specifically denotes a single diode configuration within this series.

RF Diode Replacement Considerations

HSMS-8101, HSMS-8207, and HSMS-8209 are electrically compatible alternatives within the same datasheet. Verify pinout compatibility and package marking codes before substitution. Ensure the replacement maintains the required 10–14 GHz performance specifications.
