MABA-010441-CT38A0

Product Overview

For RF signal paths from 5 MHz to 1.2 GHz, MABA-010441-CT38A0 supplies the stated 1:3 impedance transformation. Transmission-line construction is used to maintain broadband balance and predictable impedance transformation at frequencies where winding capacitance and leakage inductance become important. The ratio provides a meaningful voltage and impedance step for differential amplifiers, detectors, tuners and mixer interfaces.

Official MACOM catalogue: 1:3 transmission-line balun, 5-1200 MHz. At the upper end of the stated range, short interconnects, the manufacturer land pattern and balanced PCB routing are important to installed performance.

Quality & Sourcing

Antrex Electronics can support sourcing of MABA-010441-CT38A0 for production, repair and shortage requirements. Incoming verification can compare the exact MACOM ordering code, transformer ratio, operating band, topology, winding arrangement, package and tape-and-reel status. Because many MACOM transformer families contain closely related suffixes, an alternative should not be approved from frequency overlap alone; impedance ratio, tertiary or center-tap functions, pin orientation and PCB footprint must also match. Antrex Electronics can coordinate BOM sourcing and third-party inspection when legacy, obsolete or shortage material requires additional checks.
