Mini-Circuits KC2-19+

Mini-Circuits KC2-19+ Environmental and export classification status description

The Mini-Circuits KC2-19+ is a coaxial connectorized 2-way power divider/splitter. It is designed for RF and microwave applications, offering wide bandwidth, low insertion loss, and good isolation between output ports. Functions - Power Division: Splits incoming RF power into two equal outputs. - Impedance Matching: Maintains a nominal impedance of 50 ohms. - Isolation: Offers high isolation between output ports to minimize interference. Applications - Signal Distribution: Used in RF signal distribution systems to split signals for multiple devices. - Antenna Feed Systems: Often used to feed multiple antennas from a single source. - Test and Measurement: Useful in testing setups where signals need to be routed to multiple analyzers or receivers. Alternative Parts - Mini-Circuits ZC2-19+: A similar 2-way splitter with slight variations in performance characteristics. - RFMD RF2271: A different manufacturer’s 2-way splitter suitable for certain applications. - Johanson Technology 3750: An alternative that may be used in various RF applications. Embedded Modules - Mini-Circuits Integrated Modules: Mini-Circuits also produces integrated RF modules that contain splitters and amplifiers, suitable for more complex RF systems.
