MABA-009852-CF1A40

Balun Overview

The MABA-009852-CF1A40 is an RF balun transformer manufactured by MACOM Technology Solutions. It operates within a frequency range of 5 MHz to 120 MHz, with some sources indicating capability up to 300 MHz. The device features a 1:1 impedance ratio and supports 75 Ohm balanced to unbalanced conversion. It is housed in a 5-SMD, no lead surface mount package designed for low-cost, high-volume applications.

Balun Feature Summary

• Provides balanced-to-unbalanced signal conversion with a 1:1 impedance ratio
• Operates effectively across the 5 MHz to 120 MHz frequency spectrum
• Utilizes a compact 5-SMD surface mount package for automated assembly

Balun Applications

• CATV system signal distribution
• RF signal path balancing
• Broadband transformer coupling

Balun Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm the exact upper frequency limit, as sources vary between 120 MHz and 300 MHz. Ensure the 5-SMD footprint matches the PCB design requirements. Confirm that the 75 Ohm impedance specification aligns with the target circuit architecture before finalizing procurement.

Balun Selection Notes

Select this component when a cost-effective surface mount solution is required for 75 Ohm RF applications. It is suitable for designs needing balanced-to-unbalanced conversion in the VHF/UHF bands. Consider the thermal and mechanical constraints of the SMD package during layout planning.

Balun Part Context

This part belongs to the MABA series of RF transformers from MACOM. These components are engineered for high reliability in consumer electronics and broadcast infrastructure. The series offers various impedance ratios and frequency ranges tailored for different signal processing needs.

Balun Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes are not explicitly confirmed in public documentation. Evaluate other MACOM MABA series parts or generic 75 Ohm baluns with matching 5-SMD footprints and similar frequency specifications if cross-compatibility is required.
