+12 to +32 dBm Limiter CLM-83-2W+ 50 Broadband 30 to 8200 MHz The Big Deal Ultra wide frequency range, 30 MHz to 8.2 GHz High CW input power, +32 dBm Ultra reliable ceramic hermetic package Low prolfi e case, 0.045 high CASE STYLE: DL1721 MIL Screening Available Please consult Applications Dept. Product Overview The CLM-83-2W+ protects against ESD and input RF power surges, up to 1.6 W, across a very wide fre- quency 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 x 0.12 x 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, ECM & ECCM, etc. This limiter is capable of meeting MIL requirements for gross leak, fine leak, thermal shock, vibration, acceleration, mechanical shock, and HTOL. The testing can be done if requested. Key Features Feature Advantages Protects against very strong undesired signals to help prevent burn out of amplifiers and Limiting abilities from +12 to +32 dBm other highly sensitive components Ultra wideband, 30 MHz to 8.2 GHz Protects against many different types of unwanted signals. Tiny surfacemount package Useful in crowded PCB boards where space is at a premium Ceramic, hermetic, nitrogenfilled Protects against moisture, for longterm reliability construction Response time 2 nsec Reacts almost instantaneously to limit unwanted highlevel signals Minimal downtime after unwanted signals are removed, with very quick restoration of Recovery time 8 nsec standard operating levels Provides minimal degradation to system performance, especially low noise amplifiers Low insertion loss and VSWR where input loss is critical Practical, lowcost solution to protect expensive amplifiers or other sensitive applications Low cost from burning out Notes A.
