MABA-011050

Balun Overview

The MABA-011050 is an RF balun manufactured by MACOM Technology Solutions, designed for broadband applications. It operates within a frequency range of 5MHz to 300MHz and provides a balanced-to-unbalanced impedance transformation of 75/75 Ohms. The component features a maximum insertion loss of 0.8dB and a minimum return loss of 18dB. It is housed in a compact 5-SMD module package suitable for surface mount installation.

Balun Feature Summary

• Provides balanced-to-unbalanced signal conversion with 75/75 Ohm impedance matching
• Optimized for CATV broadband applications with low insertion loss characteristics
• Utilizes a compact 5-SMD surface mount package for efficient board integration

Balun Applications

• CATV broadband systems
• RF signal distribution networks
• Balanced line interfacing

Balun Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix (e.g., -TR0500 or -CT) against the required packaging format, as availability varies between tape and reel or cut tape configurations. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status and ensure the 26-week standard lead time aligns with project schedules before finalizing procurement orders.

Balun Selection Notes

Select this component when a 75/75 Ohm impedance match is required for frequencies up to 300MHz. Ensure the design accommodates the 5-SMD footprint and surface mount process. Verify that the 0.8dB insertion loss meets system budget requirements and that the 18dB return loss satisfies reflection limits for the intended application.

Balun Part Context

This balun belongs to MACOM's passive component portfolio focused on cable television and broadband infrastructure.
