MACP-011031

RF Directional Couplers Overview

The MACP-011031 is a general-purpose RF directional coupler manufactured by MACOM Technology Solutions. It operates within a frequency range of 5MHz to 3.25GHz and provides a nominal coupling value of 14dB. The component supports a maximum power handling capacity of 500mW and features an isolation specification of 22dB. Designed for surface mount integration, it utilizes a 5-SMD, no lead package with physical dimensions of 6.00 mm x 4.00 mm x 2.92 mm. The device is engineered specifically for 75-ohm systems, requiring all four ports—main, coupled, isolated, and output—to be terminated with precisely matched 75-ohm loads to ensure optimal performance.

RF Directional Couplers Feature Summary

• Wire wound ferrite construction for reliable signal coupling
• Optimized design for 75-ohm system impedance matching
• Low cost surface mount package for efficient PCB integration

RF Directional Couplers Applications

• CATV broadband applications
• RF signal monitoring in 75-ohm networks
• Directional power measurement in cable television infrastructure

RF Directional Couplers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version from MACOM Technology Solutions before procurement. Confirm that the application environment strictly adheres to the 75-ohm termination requirement for all ports to maintain specified isolation and coupling accuracy. Ensure the operating frequency remains within the 5MHz to 3.25GHz range and that power levels do not exceed 500mW. Check for any ordering suffix variations that may indicate different packaging or testing criteria, as these can affect compatibility.

RF Directional Couplers Selection Notes

Select this component when a 14dB coupling factor is required for 75-ohm RF systems operating up to 3.25GHz. It is suitable for applications demanding low insertion loss and high isolation in a compact surface mount form factor. Consider the 500mW power limit when designing circuits with higher signal levels. This part is ideal for CATV and broadband infrastructure where precise signal sampling is necessary without disrupting the main transmission path.
