ZC8PD-E18673+

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Overview

The ZC8PD-E18673+ is a wideband 8-way 0° power splitter/combiner manufactured by Mini-Circuits. It operates within the frequency range of 18 to 67 GHz, covering Ka and V bands. The device features 1.85 mm connectors and maintains a 50 Ohm impedance. It provides a minimum isolation of 16 dB. Power handling capabilities include 12 Watts as a splitter at 25°C and 3.6 Watts as a combiner at 25°C. The component supports DC pass functionality.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Feature Summary

• Provides 8-way signal splitting or combining with 0-degree phase alignment across ultra-wide bandwidths.
• Utilizes 1.85 mm connector interfaces for high-frequency performance in Ka and V band applications.
• Ensures signal integrity through minimum 16 dB isolation between output ports.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Applications

• Ka band and V band radar systems requiring multi-channel signal distribution
• Wideband test and measurement setups needing precise power division
• High-frequency communication infrastructure supporting DC pass requirements

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify that the 1.85 mm connector interface matches your system requirements, as this specific connector type dictates mechanical compatibility. Confirm that the operating environment remains at or below 25°C to ensure the device handles the specified 12W splitter or 3.6W combiner power levels without degradation. Ensure the application falls within the 18-67 GHz frequency range to maintain valid performance specifications.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Selection Notes

Select this component when an 8-way split is required rather than 4-way or 3-way alternatives like the ZC4PD or ZC3PD series. Choose this model specifically for its 1.85 mm connector interface if higher precision is needed compared to standard SMA or V-type connectors. Consider the DC pass feature if biasing signals must traverse the splitter path simultaneously with RF transmission.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Part Context

This part belongs to Mini-Circuits' ZC8PD series of ultra-wideband power splitters. It is designed for high-frequency operations extending into the V band. The series offers various configurations, but this specific model is distinguished by its 8-way topology and 1.85 mm connectorization, targeting applications demanding broad bandwidth coverage from 18 to 67 GHz.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Replacement Considerations

The ZC4PD-E18673+ serves as a verified substitute if only 4-way splitting is sufficient. The ZC3PD-E18673+ is another alternative for 3-way applications. These parts share the same frequency range and connector type but differ in the number of output ports.
