Mini-Circuits RLM-33H+

Mini-Circuits RLM-33H+ Environmental and export classification status description

The Mini-Circuits® RLM-33H+ is an RF and microwave power limiter designed for use in various applications. It offers excellent performance in terms of insertion loss, power handling, and low leakage power. Functions: - Power Limiting: The RLM-33H+ limits the RF or microwave power level to protect downstream components from excessive power. - Protection: It protects sensitive components and circuits from damage caused by excessive power levels. Applications: - RF Testing: It can be used in RF test setups and equipment to prevent damage from high power input signals. - RF Amplifiers: It can be used in conjunction with RF amplifiers to protect them from excessive power levels. - Communication Systems: It is suitable for use in communication systems such as transceiver modules to prevent damage from high power signals. Alternative Parts: Some alternative power limiters to consider are: 1. Mini-Circuits® RLM-15H+: A power limiter with similar features but lower power handling capability. 2. Hittite HMC7891: A wideband power limiter with excellent performance up to higher frequencies. 3. Analog Devices ADL5904: A power detector and limiter with logarithmic response and adjustable power threshold. Embedded Modules: - Mini-Circuits® PWR-6G+: A compact power detector module that can be used alongside the RLM-33H+ to detect and monitor RF power levels. Q&A: 1.
