• Utilizes compact 1206 surface-mount packaging

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Applications

• RF signal distribution networks
• Wireless communication base stations
• Test and measurement equipment
• High-frequency circuit design

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific frequency upper limit against the official datasheet, as sources indicate variations between 15 GHz and 20 GHz. Confirm that the 0.25 W power rating aligns with your thermal management requirements. Ensure the 1206 footprint matches your PCB layout constraints. Check for any recent product change notifications regarding manufacturing updates or obsolescence status before finalizing procurement.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Selection Notes

Select this component when a 6 dB split ratio is required for frequencies extending up to 15 GHz. Consider the 1206 package size for space-constrained designs. Evaluate the 0.25 W power limit against maximum expected signal levels. Compare against similar splitters if higher frequency operation up to 20 GHz is necessary, potentially looking at alternative series like PS1608GT2 variants.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Part Context

This part belongs to Susumu's PS series of RF power dividers, which are engineered for precision signal splitting in microwave and radio frequency circuits. The series offers various form factors, including the 1206 package used here, to accommodate different board space requirements while maintaining consistent electrical performance characteristics for reliable system integration.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Replacement Considerations

The PS1608GT2-R50-T5 is listed as an obsolete substitute option from the manufacturer. Verify if the smaller 0603 footprint of the PS1608GT2 series is compatible with your existing design. Confirm that the 20 GHz frequency range of the PS1608GT2 meets or exceeds your application needs.
