PE2BL1001

Balun Overview

The PE2BL1001 is a surface mount balun manufactured by Pasternack, designed for signal conditioning applications. It operates within a frequency range of 20 MHz to 520 MHz and provides an impedance transformation from 50 Ohm unbalanced to 25 Ohm balanced. The component is rated for up to 100 Watts of power handling capacity. It features a 3-SMD module package configuration.

Balun Feature Summary

• Provides impedance transformation between 50 Ohm unbalanced and 25 Ohm balanced ports
• Operates across a frequency spectrum from 20 MHz to 520 MHz
• Supports power levels up to 100 Watts
• Utilizes a surface mount (SMT) 3-SMD module package

Balun Applications

• RF signal conditioning circuits
• Impedance matching networks
• Balanced-to-unbalanced conversion in RF systems

Balun Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and mechanical dimensions against your PCB layout requirements. Confirm that the 3-SMD footprint matches your manufacturing capabilities. Ensure the operating environment stays within the specified 100 Watt power rating and 20-520 MHz frequency range for optimal performance.

Balun Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact surface mount solution is required for converting between 50 Ohm and 25 Ohm impedances. It is suitable for applications needing operation below 520 MHz with moderate power handling. Consider the physical size constraints of the 3-SMD package during board design.

Balun Part Context

This part belongs to Pasternack's line of signal conditioning components. It serves as a specialized passive device for RF engineers requiring precise impedance transformation in a small form factor. The balun function is critical for maintaining signal integrity in mixed-impedance circuit designs.

Balun Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Engineers should verify compatibility with existing designs if sourcing alternatives.
