Only recently added to the range, the new low-profile 0603 diplexers from AVX are capable of supporting multiple wireless standards, including: WCDMA, CDMA, WLAN, GSM, and BT. The devices are ideally suited for band switching in dual- and multiband applications, such as WiFi, WiMax, GPS, and cellular bands.
Utilizing land grid array packaging technology, AVX’s 0603 diplexers have an inherently low profile (<0.5mm) and exhibit excellent solderability, low parasitics, and high heat dissipation. Expansion matched to PCBs, the diplexers also provide improved reliability with regards to comparable ceramic or silicon components.
“Our 0805 MLO diplexer, released earlier this year, has been well received within the RF industry, so we’re very pleased to now also have the smaller form available,” commented Callie Baldwin, Corporate Communications Director at AVX.
AVX’s 0603 MLO diplexer features a maximum power capacity of 4.5W, measures 1.65mm x 0.88mm x 0.42mm (0.065” x 0.035” x 0.017”), is rated for use in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +85°C, and is available in Ni Au, Ni Sn, and OSP finishes, all of which are compatible with automatic soldering technologies. Finished parts are 100% tested for electrical parameters and visual characteristics and are packaged on tape and reel.
