LGA coupler provides high directivity

AVX Corp. has developed a family of high directivity LGA termination couplers that delivers high-frequency performance in a small 0402 package. Based on integrated thin-film technology, the CP0402 LGA couplers target mobile communications, satellite TV receivers, GPS, vehicle location systems and wireless LANs.

Available in frequency bands that are compatible with a variety of high-frequency wireless systems, the CP0402 high directivity LGA termination couplers are available in frequencies from 400MHz to 6GHz. The low-profile couplers feature 3W continuous power dissipation, low insertion loss and high directivity (>20db). They are available in Pb-free versions, with the parts providing excellent solderability and self-alignment during reflow, said the company.

Typical pricing ranges from 25 cents to 14 cents in quantity. Delivery is from stock to six weeks with samples available immediately.
