Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and packaging configuration (Reel, Cut Tape, or MouserReel) required for your production line before placing orders. Confirm that the selected variant matches the exact electrical specifications and mechanical dimensions needed for your PCB layout. Ensure compatibility with standard SMD/SMT mounting processes and reflow soldering profiles defined by the manufacturer.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, broadband frequency tripler is required for microwave applications. It is appropriate for designs needing conversion from the 2.25–4.2 GHz band to the 6.75–12.6 GHz band without external passive networks. Consider its SMD-6P footprint for space-constrained layouts and verify that the input power requirements align with your source amplifier capabilities.
