MABA-010245-CT1160

Balun Overview

The MABA-010245-CT1160 is an RF balun manufactured by MACOM Technology Solutions, designed for balanced-to-unbalanced signal conversion. It operates within a frequency range of 50MHz to 1GHz and provides a 1:1 impedance transformation ratio. The component features a maximum insertion loss of 0.7dB and utilizes a 6-SMD (5 Leads) flat lead surface mount package. It supports primary impedances of 75 Ohms and functions reliably across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Balun Feature Summary

• Provides balanced-to-unbalanced signal conversion with a 1:1 impedance ratio
• Operates effectively within the 50MHz to 1GHz frequency spectrum
• Features low insertion loss for efficient signal transmission
• Utilizes a compact surface mount package for automated assembly

Balun Applications

• RF circuit design requiring impedance matching

Balun Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CT1160 against official MACOM documentation to confirm packaging type and reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with standard SMT reflow profiles. Check for RoHS3 compliance status as indicated in current datasheets. Confirm availability through authorized distributors due to potential supply chain variations. Validate part marking codes for authenticity.

Balun Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1:1 impedance transformation is required between 50MHz and 1GHz. Consider the 6-SMD package for space-constrained PCB layouts. Evaluate the 0.7dB insertion loss against system budget requirements. Ensure the operating temperature range meets environmental conditions. Compare with other baluns if different impedance ratios or frequency ranges are needed.
