NCS2-62+

Overview

The NCS2-62+ is a space-qualified RF balun manufactured by Mini-Circuits. It operates as a 1:2 LTCC transformer with a frequency range of 390 MHz to 590 MHz and a bandwidth of 200 MHz. The component features a 50 Ohm impedance and utilizes an 0805 (2012 Metric) surface mount package, specifically case style GE0805C-9. It exhibits an amplitude unbalance of 0.8 dB.

Feature Summary

• Space qualified construction for reliable operation in aerospace environments
• LTCC technology provides compact surface mount integration
• Balanced-to-unbalanced signal conversion functionality

Applications

• Aerospace communication systems
• Satellite navigation receivers
• RF signal conditioning circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm current space qualification status and RoHS compliance details. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required termination finish. Cross-reference the case style GE0805C-9 against PCB footprint requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a space-rated balun is required for frequencies between 390 MHz and 590 MHz. The 1:2 transformation ratio suits applications requiring balanced output from a single-ended source. The 0805 package size allows for high-density circuit board layouts in constrained aerospace hardware designs.
