MABAES0060

Balun Overview

The MABAES0060 is an RF balun transformer manufactured by MACOM Technology Solutions, designed for frequencies ranging from 300kHz to 200MHz. It features a 1:1 impedance ratio between balanced and unbalanced ports. The component utilizes a 6-SMD (5 Leads) package with flat leads for surface mount installation. Key electrical specifications include a maximum insertion loss of 1.5dB and a minimum return loss of 10dB. It complies with RoHS3 standards and has a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1.

Balun Feature Summary

• Provides balanced-to-unbalanced signal conversion within the 300kHz to 200MHz frequency range
• Utilizes flux-coupled transformer technology for impedance matching
• Designed for surface mount assembly using a compact SMD package

Balun Applications

• RF circuit impedance matching
• Signal conversion in communication systems
• Balanced line interfacing in wireless devices

Balun Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to ensure correct packaging configuration, as variants exist for tape-and-reel, cut tape, and Digi-Reel formats. Confirm that the received components match the RoHS3 compliance status and lead finish specifications documented in the official product data sheet prior to integration into production assemblies.

Balun Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1:1 impedance transformation is required across the 300kHz to 200MHz spectrum. Ensure the design accommodates the specified insertion loss and return loss limits. The surface mount footprint must align with the 6-SMD (5 Leads) physical dimensions provided in the mechanical drawings of the official documentation.

Balun Part Context

This device belongs to the E-Series of RF transformers from MACOM Technology Solutions. It serves as a direct equivalent to the ETC1-1T transformer, offering similar performance characteristics for applications requiring reliable balanced-to-unbalanced conversion in compact electronic designs.

Balun Replacement Considerations

The MABAES0060 is documented as equivalent to the ETC1-1T transformer. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameters before substitution.
