Detailed Description for TC16-161T+
Product Overview
TC16-161T+ is a 1:16 core-and-wire transformer specified from 600 kHz to 160 MHz. The high impedance ratio is intended for coupling a 50 Ω single-ended path to a much higher-impedance balanced stage, producing a substantially different voltage and current relationship than common 1:1 or 1:4 baluns.
The part uses the AT224-1A package and operates from -40°C to +85°C. Its band covers low-frequency IF, HF and lower-VHF applications. Since the ratio is 1:16, correct termination is especially important: an alternative with the same frequency endpoints but a different ratio would alter matching, signal amplitude and winding current.

Quality & Sourcing
Antrex Electronics can source TC16-161T+ for established RF and instrumentation BOMs. For these high-ratio or multi-winding transformers, approval should include winding topology, ratio, pin configuration, frequency response and exact case style because a visually similar unity-ratio balun will not reproduce the circuit behavior.
