V495ME02-LF

Overview

The V495ME02-LF is a surface mount voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) module manufactured by Z-Communications, Inc. It operates within a frequency range of 483 MHz to 543 MHz, with a center frequency of 513 MHz. The device delivers an output power of -2 ±3 dBm and exhibits a typical second harmonic suppression of -15 dBc. Designed for high performance in RF applications, this component utilizes a compact surface mount package suitable for integration into wireless communication systems requiring stable signal generation.

Feature Summary

• Surface mount voltage-controlled oscillator module design
• RoHS compliant construction for environmental safety
• Optimized for low phase noise performance characteristics

Applications

• Wireless communication system signal sources
• RF front-end modules
• Test and measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and mechanical dimensions against the official Z-Communications datasheet before procurement. Confirm that the RoHS compliance status matches current regulatory requirements for your assembly process. Ensure the operating temperature range aligns with your system's environmental specifications. Cross-reference the pinout diagram to prevent soldering errors during PCB assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a narrow band VCO near 513 MHz is required. Consider the -2 dBm output level for direct coupling or subsequent amplification stages. Evaluate the -15 dBc harmonic suppression against system linearity requirements. Compare tuning voltage sensitivity and phase noise specifications against alternative VCO families from Z-Communications for optimal system integration.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Z-Communications VCO product family, which specializes in surface mount oscillators for commercial and wireless markets.
