TPCV-333+

Overview

The TPCV-333+ is a miniature low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) transmission line designed for high-frequency applications. It operates from DC to 33 GHz with a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms. The component features a 1210 surface mount footprint, facilitating compact circuit integration. Typical electrical performance includes an insertion loss of 0.4 dB and a return loss of 13 dB. This thru-line structure provides reliable signal transmission in demanding RF environments.

Feature Summary

• Miniature LTCC construction for space-constrained designs
• Thru-line compatibility for seamless circuit integration
• Low insertion loss characteristics for efficient signal transfer

Applications

• Electronic warfare systems
