Detailed Description for TCM8-1+
Product Overview
TCM8-1+ is a Mini-Circuits high-ratio 1:8 core-and-wire RF balun transformer covering 2 MHz to 500 MHz. The 1:8 ratio establishes the intended relationship between the 50 Ω system ports while performing balanced/unbalanced conversion. Confirmed selection data includes insertion loss of 3.0 dB maximum.
The high transformation ratio is useful where a 50 Ω network must drive a substantially higher-impedance balanced stage. The 1:8 impedance ratio strongly affects voltage and current transformation, so the ratio and winding orientation must remain unchanged in an approved BOM.

Quality & Sourcing
Antrex Electronics can support sourcing of TCM8-1+ for production, repair and shortage requirements. Incoming inspection should compare the exact ordering code, operating band, impedance ratio, package style and winding configuration. Alternative approval should be based on the confirmed electrical limits and PCB footprint rather than on a similar family name.
