TC1-182T-75X+

Balun Overview

The TC1-182T-75X+ is a balanced-to-unbalanced transmission line transformer manufactured by Mini-Circuits. It operates within a frequency range of 5 MHz to 1.8 GHz and provides impedance transformation between 75 Ohm balanced and 75 Ohm unbalanced ports. The device utilizes a rugged, wire-welded rectangular core with a top hat design for durability. Key electrical specifications include a maximum insertion loss of 2.5 dB and a phase difference of 5 degrees. It supports a power rating of 250 mW and features an SMD/SMT installation style in a 6-SMD (5 Leads) flat lead package measuring 3.81 mm in width and length, with a height of 4.06 mm.
