Overview

The SBTC-2-10+ is a compact, surface-mount 2-way 0-degree RF power splitter and combiner from Mini-Circuits. It operates across a wide frequency range of 5 MHz to 1 GHz with a maximum input power of 0.5 W. This component is designed for 50-ohm systems requiring low insertion loss and high isolation between output ports.

Why Choose This Part

The device offers a low insertion loss of 0.5dB and a minimum isolation of 20dB, ensuring signal integrity. Its 0.150 inch square footprint allows for high-density PCB layouts, while the 5-degree phase imbalance limit maintains phase coherence in sensitive RF paths.

Applications

CATV Distribution
Splitting or combining signals in cable television headends and distribution amplifiers.
VHF/UHF Communications
Distributing signals between multiple receivers or combining low-power transmitters in the 5 MHz to 1000 MHz range.
Signal Monitoring
Tapping an RF signal path for measurement or monitoring with minimal insertion loss penalty.
