Mouser Now Stocking Mini-Circuits Products

April 7, 2020

Mouser Electronics becomes the first authorized distributor of Mini-Circuits products in the U.S.

A new distribution agreement between Mouser Electronics and Mini-Circuits makes Mouser the first authorized distributor of the Mini-Circuits product line in the U.S.

Mouser now stocks over 1000 Mini-Circuits RF products. The company’s LFCG series LTCC low-pass filters are available with passband frequencies spanning dc to 6100 MHz and rejection up to 50 dB. The tiny 0805 filters feature rugged ceramic construction, making them well-suited for tough environments such as high humidity and temperature extremes.

Mini-Circuits’ reflectionless filters are available in low-pass, high-pass, and bandpass designs, offering a patented internal load that eliminates out-of-band signals. Reflectionless filters eliminate stopband reflections, allowing them to be paired with sensitive devices and used in applications that otherwise require circuits such as isolation amplifiers or attenuators.

The PMA3-83LN+ is a PHEMT-based MMIC amplifier with a unique combination of 1.3 dB noise figure, +35 dBm IP3, and ±1.3 dB gain flatness over the entire 0.5 to 8 GHz range, making it ideal for sensitive, high-dynamic-range receiver applications. The amplifier operates from a single 5-V or 6-V supply, is well matched for 50 Ω, and comes in a 3 mm × 3 mm QFN package to accommodate dense circuit-board layouts.

Mini-Circuits’ ultra-wideband MMIC splitter/combiners offer multi-octave bandwidths covering applications from dc to 43.5 GHz with power handling up to 2.5 W, typical insertion loss of 1.1 dB, and high isolation up to 20 dB. The two-way devices come in tiny QFN packages, saving space in dense layouts.
