TC2-1TX+

Balun Overview

The TC2-1TX+ is a surface-mount RF transformer from Mini-Circuits, designed for single-channel applications within the TC2 series. It operates across a frequency range of 3 MHz to 300 MHz with a maximum insertion loss of 1.0 dB. The component features a 50 Ohm primary impedance and a 50 Ohm secondary impedance, supporting a power rating of 250 mW and a maximum DC current of 30 mA. It functions reliably between -40°C and +85°C. The device utilizes a core-and-wire construction in an AT1521 package measuring 3.81 mm x 3.81 mm x 4.06 mm.
