The TCM2-452AX+ is a surface-mount RF transformer with a 1:2 impedance ratio, operating from 1000 to 4500 MHz and rated for 50 ohms. It features a compact 0.16x0.15x0.16 inch footprint, a 6-lead plastic package with tin-over-nickel terminations, and the Top Hat® feature for improved pick-and-place assembly. The transformer exhibits a typical insertion loss of 0.6 dB at 2.75 GHz, return loss of 15 dB minimum, amplitude unbalance up to 1.2 dB, and phase unbalance up to 12 degrees across its band. It operates from -40°C to +85°C, supports up to 1.0 W RF power and 30 mA DC current, and is aqueous washable.
Mini-Circuits’ TCM2-452AX+ is a surface-mount transmission line core and wire transformer covering a very wide frequency range from 1000 to 4500 MHz. The transformer provides low insertion loss with excellent flatness over its entire frequency range. It achieves low phase and amplitude unbalance and excellent input return loss performance. Featuring core and wire construction on a 6-lead plastic base with tin over nickel termination finish, the unit measures 0.16x0.15x0.16”, accommodating dense circuit board layouts. It also incorporates the Mini-Circuits’ Top Hat® feature for faster, more accurate pick-and- place assembly and easy visual inspection.
