The XC1500A-20S is a low-profile, high-performance 20dB directional coupler with a new, user-friendly and manufacturing-friendly surface-mount package. It is designed for applications in the ampere band. XC1500A-20S is specifically designed for power and frequency detection, as well as VSWR monitoring that requires strict control of coupling and low insertion loss. It can be used in high-power applications up to 150 watts.
The parts have undergone rigorous testing and have been manufactured using materials with a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). These materials are compatible with common substrates such as FR4, G-10, RF-35, RO4350 and polyimide. Six soldered finishings in accordance with RoHS standards have been produced.
