ZHL-42X+

Overview

The ZHL-42X+ is a medium-power connectorized RF amplifier from Mini-Circuits, operating within a frequency range of 600 MHz to 4.2 GHz. It provides a typical gain of 38 dB with an operating supply voltage of 15 V and current consumption of 1 A. Key performance metrics include a noise figure of 8.5 dB and gain flatness ranging from ±0.8 to ±1.3 dB across the band. This component is designed for applications requiring wideband amplification in test instrumentation and cellular systems.

Feature Summary

• Wideband operation spanning 600 MHz to 4.2 GHz
• Medium-power output capability for signal conditioning
• Connectorized design for reliable integration

Applications

• Test instrumentation
• Cellular infrastructure
• Signal distribution systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'X+' against official Mini-Circuits documentation to confirm pinout and connector type compatibility. Ensure the 15 V supply requirement aligns with system power constraints. Cross-reference datasheet revision dates to validate electrical parameters before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when wide bandwidth up to 4.2 GHz is required alongside moderate power output. Consider the 15 V supply requirement and 1 A current draw during power budgeting. Evaluate noise figure specifications if low-noise performance is critical for the application chain.

Part Context

This part belongs to Mini-Circuits' ZHL series of medium-power amplifiers. The ZHL-42X+ shares functional similarities with the ZHL-42+ but may differ in physical configuration or specific electrical tolerances as defined by the manufacturer's product line structure.

Replacement Considerations

The ZHL-42+ is a related variant within the same family. Verify mechanical dimensions and connector types before substitution. Consult official Mini-Circuits documentation for exact parameter comparisons between the X+ and standard variants.
