ZBT-K283+

Overview

The ZBT-K283+ is an ultra-wideband MMIC coaxial bias tee manufactured by Mini-Circuits. It operates across a frequency range of 1.5 GHz to 28 GHz, providing low insertion loss and excellent return loss characteristics. The component utilizes a 2.92 mm connector interface and is designed for general-purpose RF applications requiring reliable DC bias injection over high-frequency signal paths.

Feature Summary

• Ultra-wideband operational coverage from 1.5 GHz to 28 GHz
• Integrated MMIC technology for compact form factor
• Low insertion loss and excellent return loss performance

Applications

• General-purpose RF signal conditioning
• High-frequency test and measurement equipment
• Microwave communication systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector type and pinout configuration against the official Mini-Circuits datasheet prior to integration. Ensure that the operating environment remains within the specified thermal and electrical limits defined in the product documentation. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required for your manufacturing process.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide bandwidth exceeding standard bias tee capabilities is required up to 28 GHz. The integrated MMIC design offers a space-saving alternative to discrete solutions. Evaluate the specific insertion loss requirements for your application to ensure compatibility with system sensitivity thresholds.

Part Context

This part belongs to Mini-Circuits' line of RF and microwave passive components. It serves as a critical interface element for injecting DC power into RF circuits without disrupting signal integrity. The ZBT-K283+ is distinct from lower-frequency models due to its extended upper frequency limit and specialized connector interface.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Users should consult Mini-Circuits directly for potential alternatives or updated product recommendations.
