Balun Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the MABACT0065 designation rather than variant suffixes such as -V3 or -TR, which may indicate different packaging or revision statuses. Confirm RoHS compliance requirements align with project specifications. Ensure the supplier provides official datasheets confirming the 500 MHz to 3 GHz operational range and 4:1 impedance ratio before finalizing procurement.

Balun Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, low-cost solution for unbalanced-to-balanced conversion is required in the 500 MHz to 3 GHz band. The surface mount format supports high-volume manufacturing processes. Consider the 0.22 dB insertion loss and 4:1 ratio when designing matching networks for cellular and wireless applications requiring efficient signal transfer.
