MABA-009488-61HWCA

Balun Overview

The MABA-009488-61HWCA is a surface-mount RF balun transformer manufactured by MACOM Technology Solutions. It operates within a frequency range of 3 MHz to 800 MHz and provides an impedance ratio of 1:4. The component features a single channel with a primary coil impedance of 50 ohms and an insertion loss of 1.5 dB. It is housed in a compact 6-SMD (5 Leads) package with flat leads, measuring 3.81 mm in length and width, and 2.78 mm in height. The device supports operation between -40°C and +85°C.

Balun Feature Summary

• Provides balanced-to-unbalanced signal conversion via a 1:4 impedance ratio
• Operates across a wide frequency spectrum from 3 MHz to 800 MHz
• Utilizes a low-profile surface mount package for space-constrained designs

Balun Applications

• Single-ended to differential signal conversion
• RF front-end circuitry in communication systems
• Signal conditioning in broadband applications

Balun Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to ensure compatibility with required performance specifications. Confirm that the 6-SMD package variant matches the intended PCB layout requirements. Check for any recent product change notifications regarding assembly sites or material composition updates prior to finalizing procurement orders.

Balun Selection Notes

Select this component when a wideband solution covering frequencies up to 800 MHz is required for impedance transformation. Consider the 1:4 ratio suitability for matching 50-ohm single-ended lines to 200-ohm differential loads. Evaluate the thermal operating range limits to ensure reliability under expected environmental conditions during system integration.

Balun Part Context

This part belongs to the MABA series of RF transformers from MACOM Technology Solutions.
