New Surface Mount Step-Down Transformer for Laser Diode Applications Gets a Top Hat™!

March 27, 2012 — Mini-Circuits new TC9-1-75X+ surface-mount transformer is ideal for laser diodes requiring 75:8 Ω (approximately 9:1) impedance matching, and it even features our unique Top Hat for faster pick-and-place throughput! This autotransformer features good return loss (up to 23 dB) and low insertion loss across an ultra wide 10-octave frequency range, from 300 kHz to 475 MHz, at up to 0.25 W RF power, and DC current up to 30 mA.

And if you’re looking for a 4 way-0° coaxial power splitter for applications from 500 to 2700 MHz, our new ZN4PD-272+ may be just what you need! It’s ideal for UHF, cellular, instrumentation and other 50Ω systems, and can handle up to 10W inputs as a splitter with low insertion loss (0.9 dB typ), high isolation, and excellent amplitude unbalance (0.2 dB typ).
