• SMA connectorized interface with 50-ohm impedance

Applications

• Radar systems
• Electronic warfare equipment
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation, such as 'S+', against official Mini-Circuits documentation to confirm connector type and performance specifications. Ensure compatibility with system impedance requirements before integration. Consult the individual model datasheet for precise electrical characteristics and thermal management guidelines.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications demanding consistent gain across an exceptionally wide frequency spectrum up to 21 GHz. Consider the AV1280 package constraints and SMA interface suitability for your PCB layout. Evaluate noise figure and linearity metrics against system sensitivity requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ZVA series of wideband amplifiers from Mini-Circuits. Related variants include the ZVA-203GX+ and ZVA-213X-S+, which share similar operational principles but may differ in specific performance parameters or packaging configurations.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes are not explicitly confirmed in public data. Evaluate the ZVA-213X-S+ for potential interchangeability based on identical frequency ranges and case styles, verifying all electrical parameters against original design specifications.
