LEAD-FREE / RoHS-COMPLIANT

SURFACE-MOUNT BROADBAND BALUN

BAL-0620SMG

The BAL-0620SMG is a Surface Mount Microlithic balun. As with all


Microlithic baluns, it features excellent amplitude balance, phase
balance, and common mode rejection across a broad bandwidth and in a
miniaturized form factor. It has significant isolation, reducing the reflection
of unwanted common mode signals. The BAL-0620SMG is a lead free,
RoHS compliant package compatible with standard leaded and lead-free
solder reflows. SMA connectorized evaluation packages are available.
The BAL-0620SMG is an excellent choice for balanced amplifiers, clock
distribution, and higher order Nyquist sampling in analog to digital
converters
