SMP1330-005LF

RF Diode Overview

The SMP1330-005LF is a silicon PIN diode from the Skyworks SMP1330 series, packaged in an SOT-23 configuration as a series pair. It features a maximum reverse voltage of 20 V and a typical series resistance of 1.5 Ω at 100 MHz. The device exhibits a maximum capacitance of 1 pF at 1 GHz and a carrier lifetime of 4 ns. Rated for operation between -65 °C and +150 °C, it dissipates up to 250 mW. Designed for passive receiver protection, it provides low-distortion limiting performance up to 4 GHz and higher frequencies.

RF Diode Feature Summary

• Gold-doped thin base limiter technology for low-loss and low-distortion performance
• Tightly specified electrical parameters to ensure consistent limiter action
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (MSL1) rated for lead-free soldering

RF Diode Applications

• Passive receiver protectors in wireless systems
• WLAN and WiMAX infrastructure
• Cellular infrastructure equipment
• RFID readers
• Test instruments

RF Diode Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to discontinuation status. Confirm RoHS compliance via the manufacturer's Certificate of Conformance. Ensure ESD handling precautions are strictly followed during storage and assembly. Validate that the SOT-23 package dimensions align with existing PCB footprints before finalizing procurement plans.

RF Diode Selection Notes

Select this part for applications requiring a series pair configuration within an SOT-23 footprint. Verify that the 20 V reverse voltage rating meets system peak requirements. Consider the 1.5 Ω series resistance impact on insertion loss. Evaluate the 4 ns carrier lifetime against required switching speeds. Confirm compatibility with standard tape and reel manufacturing processes.

RF Diode Part Context

This component belongs to the SMP1330 series of plastic-packaged limiter diodes manufactured by Skyworks Solutions. The series includes single-diode variants such as the SMP1330-040LF in an SOD-882 package. All parts utilize gold-doped silicon technology optimized for RF limiting applications up to 4 GHz.

RF Diode Replacement Considerations

The SMP1330-040LF serves as a functional alternative if a single-diode configuration in an SOD-882 package is acceptable. Verify pinout compatibility and package dimension differences when substituting.
