MABACT0039

Balun Overview

The MABACT0039 is a surface-mount transmission line transformer manufactured by MACOM Technology Solutions. It provides a 1:1 impedance transformation ratio and operates within a frequency range of 5 MHz to 3 GHz. The component is housed in a compact 5-SMD module package, designed for low-cost implementation in high-volume production environments. It supports both 50 Ohm and 75 Ohm system configurations, making it suitable for broadband applications requiring balanced-to-unbalanced conversion or impedance matching.

Balun Feature Summary

• Surface mount construction for automated assembly
• 1:1 impedance transformation capability
• RoHS compliant manufacturing process
• Compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles

Balun Applications

• CATV systems
• Broadband network infrastructure
• RF signal conditioning circuits

Balun Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer source, as Tyco Electronics also lists this part number in distribution channels. Confirm that the received component matches the MACOM Technology Solutions specification sheet regarding the 5-SMD package dimensions and electrical characteristics. Ensure compliance with RoHS standards if required by your supply chain regulations. Check for tape and reel availability if high-volume placement is intended.

Balun Selection Notes

Select this component when a cost-effective, surface-mount solution is needed for 1:1 impedance matching in broadband RF applications. It is appropriate for designs operating between 5 MHz and 3 GHz in either 50 or 75 Ohm systems. Consider its small form factor for space-constrained PCB layouts. Evaluate thermal requirements against the 260°C reflow compatibility limit during the soldering process.

Balun Part Context

This device belongs to the MABACT series of transmission line transformers from MACOM. These components are engineered for high-volume manufacturing efficiency. The series includes various impedance ratios and frequency ranges, but the MABACT0039 specifically targets the 1:1 ratio segment. It serves as a passive RF component for signal integrity maintenance in communication hardware.

Balun Replacement Considerations

MABACT0060 offers similar 1:1 transformation but with a reduced frequency range up to 1200 MHz. MABACT0059 covers 4.5 MHz to 3000 MHz with identical impedance ratios. Verify pinout compatibility and package dimensions before substituting, as physical footprint differences may require PCB redesign.
