RF Power Dividers/Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' indicates tape and reel packaging when ordering. Confirm that the 7-SMD no-lead footprint matches the target PCB layout. Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified 6-18 GHz range to maintain rated isolation and return loss performance.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring simultaneous division into six paths across a wide microwave bandwidth. Consider the thermal management requirements associated with SMD packages in high-power scenarios. Evaluate the physical dimensions of the 7-SMD case against available board space constraints.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Part Context

This part belongs to the family of Wilkinson power dividers manufactured by Knowles Dielectric Labs. These components utilize low-loss, high-dielectric constant materials to achieve small form factors. They are engineered for integration into space-constrained RF circuits requiring precise signal distribution.
