Miniature Surface Mount
Circulators

Features

n Designed for Wireless Telecommunication Systems:

GSM1800, PCS1900, UMTS2100 (3G)

n High performance at low cost in a miniaturized package.
n Small size, 0.6” Vs. industry standard of 1”
n Low Mass, less than 9.0 grams vs. industry standard of

greater than 18.0 grams.

n The small size utilizes less real estate on RF board

while providing equal or better RF performance than the
industry 1 inch standard.

n Incorporates a patented Robust Lead approach which

withstands the most severe shipping, handling and
processing procedures without degradation in RF or
mechanical performance.

n One piece housing and patented robust lead design

guarantees co-planarity between the contacts and the
ground plane of 0.1 mm.

n The small size and low mass make the device suitable

for automatic pick and place systems and for solder
reflow profiles. This hands-free soldering further
lowers the cost of ownership

n Tape-and-reel packaging being investigated
n Environmentally safe materials used, no lead option available.
