JSPHS-42+

Overview

The JSPHS-42+ is a surface-mount voltage-variable phase shifter manufactured by Mini-Circuits. It operates within the frequency range of 300 MHz to 400 MHz and provides a minimum phase range of 180 degrees. The device utilizes a BK276 package with dimensions of 0.80 x 0.45 x 0.25 inches. Typical insertion loss is 1.4 dB, with a maximum of 2.8 dB. It requires a control voltage of 0 to 12 V and offers a typical control bandwidth of DC to 50 kHz. Typical VSWR is 1.3:1, with a maximum of 1.9:1.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix against official Mini-Circuits documentation to ensure correct specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated in product listings. Cross-reference datasheet parameters such as control voltage and frequency range with system requirements before procurement. Ensure ordering from authorized distributors to guarantee component authenticity and traceability.

Selection Notes

Select this component when operating frequencies fall between 300 MHz and 400 MHz. Consider the BK276 footprint constraints during PCB layout design. Evaluate insertion loss and VSWR specifications against link budget requirements. Ensure the control circuitry can supply the required 0 to 12 V range with adequate bandwidth.
