RF Diode Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix FT against official MACOM documentation to confirm tape and reel packaging specifications. Ensure compatibility with standard SMT reflow profiles during assembly. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to confirm availability and authenticity. Request RoHS compliance certificates if required for your manufacturing standards. Validate that the 200 V reverse voltage rating meets your circuit's peak inverse voltage requirements.

RF Diode Selection Notes

Select this component when low distortion is critical for attenuator performance in RF signal paths. The 0.3 µs carrier lifetime offers a balance between switching speed and linearity. Consider the surface-mount package for space-constrained PCB layouts. Evaluate the +175 °C maximum operating temperature against your system's thermal environment. Compare against other MA4P74xx series devices if different capacitance or resistance values are needed.

RF Diode Part Context

This part belongs to the MACOM MA4P74xx series of PIN diodes, which are characterized by thick intrinsic regions to minimize distortion. These devices are distinct from the MA4P290 series, which offers even thicker I-regions for lower distortion and higher IP3. The MADP-007167 designation indicates a specific variant within this family, tailored for surface-mount integration. This series is widely used in communication infrastructure where signal fidelity is paramount.

RF Diode Replacement Considerations

The MA4P7433-287T is a confirmed substitute within the same product family. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameter equivalence before substitution. Other variants like MA4P7455CK-287T may offer similar functionality but require validation of specific capacitance and resistance values.
