TC4-25+

Product Overview

TC4-25+ is a Mini-Circuits UHF/L-band core-and-wire RF balun transformer specified for 500 MHz to 2500 MHz. The 1:4 ratio lets a conventional 50 Ω system interface drive or receive a differential port with the intended impedance transformation. The exact frequency range and impedance relationship are the primary confirmed selection parameters for this version.

Its passband covers UHF and lower microwave allocations used by cellular, telemetry, broadband radio and RF instrumentation while retaining transformer-based single-ended-to-differential conversion. This ordering code uses the standard mechanical option for the family and should be laid out with short, symmetric balanced traces. The installed result also requires the published land pattern and electrically symmetrical balanced connections.

Quality & Sourcing

Antrex Electronics can support sourcing of TC4-25+ for production, repair and shortage requirements. Incoming verification should compare the exact ordering code, frequency band, impedance relationship, package style and any center-tap or suffix-specific configuration. A part from the same transformer family should not be substituted solely because its headline bandwidth overlaps.
