Mini-Circuits CLM-83-2W+

The CLM-83-2W+ protects against ESD and input RF power surges, up to 1.6 W, across a very wide frequency range. Internal diodes are bonded to a multilayer integrated LTCC substrate, and then hermetically sealed under a controlled nitrogen atmosphere with gold-plated covers and eutectic AuSn solder. These rugged, tiny limiters, only 0.12×0.12×0.045" high, provide excellent protection for low noise amplifiers and other sensitive equipment, especially in hostile environments where unwanted signals prevail, such as manufacturing sites, train tunnels, etc. This limiter is capable of meeting MIL requirements for gross leak, fine leak, thermal shock, vibration, acceleration, mechanical shock, and HTOL.

The CLM-83-2W+ is an RoHS-compliant limiter utilizing PIN diodes on an LTCC substrate, all hermetically sealed under a controlled nitrogen atmosphere. Terminal finish on the tiny, low-profile case is Ni-Pd-Au, delivering excellent electrical performance across a very wide bandwidth, with low insertion loss, excellent return loss, and low output power.

• wideband, 30 to 8200 MHz
• low insertion loss 0.5 dB typ.
• fast recovery time, 10nsec typ.
• excellent VSWR 1.2:1 typ.
• low output power, 11.5 dBm typ.
• ceramic, hermetic, Nitrogen filled

• stabilizing generator outputs
• reducing amplitude variations
• protects low noise amplifiers and other devices from ESD or input power damage
