ZRL-700+

Overview

The Mini-Circuits ZRL-700+ is a connectorized low noise amplifier designed for the 250 MHz to 700 MHz frequency range. It features SMA connectors and operates on a 12 VDC supply with a current draw of 575 mA. The unit provides a typical gain of 30 dB and an output power at 1dB compression (P1dB) of 23.5 dBm. Internally voltage regulated, it accepts input voltages from 6.5 to 17VDC. The device utilizes the FJ893 case style.

Feature Summary

• Low noise amplification in the UHF band
• Internally voltage regulated for wide input tolerance
• Medium power linear performance

Applications

• UHF communication systems
• Test and measurement equipment
• Wireless infrastructure front ends

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (+) indicates RoHS compliance when sourcing. Confirm the FJ893 mechanical dimensions match your enclosure requirements. Ensure the 12VDC power supply meets the 575mA current specification. Check datasheet graphs for temperature-dependent performance variations before final integration.

Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring high linearity and moderate output power within the 250-700 MHz spectrum. The internal regulation simplifies power design compared to unregulated counterparts. Consider thermal management due to the 575mA consumption. Verify that the SMA interface compatibility aligns with existing system cabling.
