Gain Equalizers www.knowlescapacitors.com Series Description DLIs Gain Equalizers are designed as a small, low cost solution to your gain slope challenges. These equalizer designs employ a monolithic construction with precision thin-film conductor and resistor films with proprietary high dielectric constant ceramics for superior RF performance and repeatability. Components are well suited for use with pick and place equipment. Available in tape and reel packaging for high volume appli- cations. Applications Broadband Microwave Modules EW, ECM, ECCM Equalizer is utilized as a compensation circuit to correct for a loss slope created by other elements within a circuit such as in amplifier stages Benefits Low Excess Insertion Loss Operating & Storage Temp: -55C to +125C Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL1 Footprint interchangeable gain slopes from 1 to 3.5 dB No Ground Connection Required Conductive Epoxy and solder SMT mountable Superior, repeatable microwave performance Characteristic Impedance: 50 Part Number Nominal L W T Lp Wp G Slope Epoxy Solderable 1 3 30 2 18 2 5 1 9 1 14 1 8 1 2.25 dB AEQ2050 AEQ05510 1 3 AEQ2199 AEQ05246 28 2 16 2 7 1 7 1 14 1 12 1 3.5 dB 2 3 32 2 16 2 5 1 8 1 12 1 12 1 3.25 dB AEQ2234 AEQ06042 4 4 40 2 20 2 6 1 17.5 1 17.5 1 3 1 0.6 dB AEQ3042 AEQ3042 4 4 AEQ3055 AEQ3055 40 2 20 2 6 1 15.4 1 18.4 1 7.2 1 1.5 dB 5 5 AEQ05467 AEQ05467 28 1 16 1 7 1 7 min. 14 1 10 1.0 dB 5 5 AEQ05468 AEQ05468 28 1 16 1 7 1 7 min. 14 1 10 1.5 dB 5 5 28 1 16 1 7 1 7 min. 14 1 10 2.0 dB AEQ05469 AEQ05469 5 5 AEQ05470 AEQ05470 28 1 16 1 7 1 7 min. 14 1 10 2.5 dB 5 5 28 1 16 1 7 1 7 min. 14 1 10 3.0 dB AEQ05471 AEQ05471 5 5 28 1 16 1 7 1 7 min. 14 1 10 3.5 dB AEQ05472 AEQ05472 All dimensions in mils.

If pressure is to be applied during component placement, it should be done uniformly across the part. 4) Thin, unmounted circuit boards are prone to warp- age during reflow. This can cause solder attach de- fects and cracking of components during handling or subsequent housing installation.
