ZESC-2-11+

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Overview

The ZESC-2-11+ is a two-way, 0-degree power splitter/combiner from Mini-Circuits designed for RF applications. It operates within a frequency range of 10 to 2000 MHz and features a 50-ohm impedance. Key electrical specifications include a typical insertion loss of 0.5 dB and an input power rating of 1 W. Isolation performance varies by frequency: the low range (Fq-low to 10 Fq-low) offers 19 dB typical isolation with a 10 dB minimum, while the mid-range (10 Fq-low to Fq-up/2) provides 18 dB typical and 13 dB minimum isolation.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Feature Summary

• Provides equal power division or combining with zero-degree phase shift between ports
• Operates across a wide bandwidth from 10 MHz to 2000 MHz
• Maintains 50-ohm system impedance for standard RF compatibility

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Applications

• RF signal distribution in test and measurement equipment
• Balanced mixer drive circuits
• Antenna array feed networks

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (+) indicates lead-free compliance when sourcing. Confirm connector type matches system requirements, as SMA interfaces are standard for this model. Ensure operating frequency falls within the 10-2000 MHz range to maintain specified isolation and insertion loss parameters. Cross-reference datasheet revision dates for accurate performance curves.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring precise 0-degree phase splitting over a broad UHF and VHF spectrum. The device suits systems needing moderate power handling up to 1 W. Consider physical size constraints as it utilizes a compact coaxial design. Verify that required isolation levels align with the specified ranges for the target operating frequency band.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Part Context

This part belongs to Mini-Circuits' ZESC series of coaxial power splitters. It is functionally similar to other two-way dividers but distinguished by its specific 10-2000 MHz coverage and 0-degree phase characteristic. It complements broader bandwidth models like the ZFSC series which may offer different connector options or mounting styles.

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the ZFSC-2-11B+ for BNC interface needs or other ZESC series variants if frequency ranges differ. Ensure replacement parts maintain the 50-ohm impedance and 0-degree phase balance. Verify that alternative components support the same 1 W input power rating without thermal degradation.
