ZHL-4240WX+

Overview

The ZHL-4240WX+ is a medium high power RF amplifier manufactured by Mini-Circuits, operating within a frequency range of 10 MHz to 4.2 GHz. It features a typical P1dB output power of 28 dBm and a noise figure of 8 dB. The device requires a supply voltage of 15 V and draws a supply current of 900 mA. Designed for cellular applications, it utilizes SMA connectors and is configured for chassis mounting.

Feature Summary

• Supports wideband operation from 10 MHz to 4.2 GHz
• Delivers medium high power output suitable for demanding RF environments
• Engineered specifically for cellular signal processing applications

Applications

• Cellular infrastructure systems
• Test instrumentation equipment
• RF signal generation chains

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to the obsolete lifecycle status. Confirm mechanical compatibility with existing chassis mounts and ensure power supply specifications match the required 15 V and 900 mA parameters before integration into final assemblies.

Selection Notes

Select this model when wide bandwidth up to 4.2 GHz is required alongside moderate high power output. Consider the chassis mount form factor and SMA interface requirements. Evaluate thermal management needs given the 900 mA supply current consumption during continuous operation.

Part Context

This component belongs to the ZHL series of connectorized amplifiers from Mini-Circuits. These units are designed for robust performance in test and measurement environments. The WX suffix typically denotes specific packaging or connector variations within the broader product family.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available as the ZHL-4240WX+ is listed with an obsolete lifecycle status. Designers should consult Mini-Circuits for current equivalent models or updated series replacements.
