SB6000A

Overview

The SB6000A is an RF adapter classified as a Tee Bias Tee manufactured by Fairview Microwave. It operates within a frequency range of 100 MHz to 6 GHz, utilizing SMA connector series with Jack (Female) gender and Normal polarity across all ports. The component maintains a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms and features a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of 1.5. It is rated for a maximum DC current of 500 mA and a voltage of 50 Volts DC. The unit weighs 45.586 g and is packaged in a Bag.

Feature Summary

• Integrates bias tee functionality into an SMA Tee adapter configuration
• Supports simultaneous RF signal distribution and DC power injection
• Rated for continuous operation up to 500 mA DC current
• Maintains standard 50 Ohm impedance throughout the assembly

Applications

• RF circuit testing requiring combined signal and power delivery
• Biasing active components such as amplifiers or oscillators
• Signal distribution networks incorporating DC control lines
• Laboratory setups for high-frequency device characterization

Procurement Notes

Verify specific supply availability through authorized distributors as stock status may be restricted. Confirm that the SMA connector interface matches existing system requirements. Ensure the 500 mA current rating and 50 V DC voltage limit align with the intended application's electrical demands. Check packaging details to confirm individual bag inclusion. Validate compliance with relevant environmental standards if required for the deployment environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated bias tee solution is needed within an SMA infrastructure. The 100 MHz to 6 GHz operational range suits applications not requiring ultra-high frequency performance beyond 6 GHz. Consider the physical weight and dimensions for integration into tight spaces. Evaluate the 1.5 VSWR specification against system loss budgets. This model is suitable for general-purpose biasing where standard SMA compatibility is mandatory.

Part Context

The SB6000A belongs to the RF Adapters - Tee subcategory under Fairview Microwave's interconnect portfolio. It serves as a specialized variant of standard SMA splitters by embedding bias-tee capabilities directly into the mechanical structure. This design eliminates the need for separate bias-tee modules in certain test configurations, streamlining the signal path while maintaining precise impedance matching across the specified frequency band.
