ZC8PD-5R263-S+

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Overview

The ZC8PD-5R263-S+ is a super wideband 8-way stripline DC pass power splitter/combiner manufactured by Mini-Circuits. It operates within a frequency range of 500 MHz to 26.5 GHz and features a nominal impedance of 50 ohms. The device utilizes SMA connectors for interfacing and is housed in the UU2624-1 package. This component supports high-power applications and provides equal signal distribution across its eight output ports.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Feature Summary

• Provides simultaneous splitting or combining of RF signals across eight distinct paths
• Supports direct current (DC) passage through all ports for biasing integrated circuits
• Utilizes stripline technology to ensure consistent performance over a super wideband frequency range

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Applications

• Multi-channel phased array antenna systems
• Parallel testing and measurement setups requiring signal distribution
• Wideband communication infrastructure equipment
• Signal generation and synthesis architectures

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required connector type and termination style. Confirm that the operating environment remains within the specified temperature limits. Ensure system impedance requirements align with the 50-ohm specification. Check for any mechanical clearance constraints related to the UU2624-1 package dimensions before integration into the final assembly.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Selection Notes

Select this component when an eight-way split is required rather than two-way or four-way configurations. Consider the super wideband capability if the application spans from microwave to millimeter-wave frequencies. Evaluate the DC pass feature if bias voltage needs to be supplied through the RF path. Compare insertion loss specifications against other models in the ZC8PD series to determine suitability for low-loss applications.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Part Context

This part belongs to the ZC8PD series of power splitters and combiners from Mini-Circuits. The series includes variants with different frequency starts, such as the ZC8PD-01263-S+ starting at 1 GHz and the ZC8PD-06263-S+ starting at 6 GHz. All models share the same eight-way architecture and general form factor but differ in their lower frequency cutoff points.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Replacement Considerations

The ZC8PD-01263-S+ offers similar functionality but starts operation at 1 GHz instead of 500 MHz. The ZC8PD-06263-S+ begins at 6 GHz, providing a narrower bandwidth. Users requiring fewer outputs might consider the ZC2PD-5R263-S+ for a two-way configuration. Verify electrical compatibility before substituting these parts.
