® ULTRA REL Ceramic Hermetic Frequency Mixers 300 MHz to 12 GHz MAC Series LO Levels 4 to 17 dBm The Big Deal • • • • 3-Year Guarantee Hermetically sealed LTCC construction Low-profile case, 0.06” high Priced for outstanding VALUE CASE STYLE: DZ1650 Product Overview Mini-Circuits MAC mixers employ a unique new design and a highly repeatable, tightly controlled, automated process that delivers industry-leading reliability at a remarkably affordable price. Schottky diode quads meeting our strict specifications are bonded to a multilayer integrated LTCC substrate, and then hermetically sealed under a controlled atmosphere with gold-plated covers and eutectic AuSn solder. These passive, doublebalanced mixers have been tested to MIL requirements for gross leak, fine leak, thermal shock, vibration, acceleration, mechanical shock, and HTOL, and every MAC mixer is backed with our 3-year guarantee. Click here for more about the MAC mixer Key Features Feature Advantages Low, Flat Conversion Loss No need to compensate for variations over frequency. Hermetically Sealed Ideal for use anywhere long-term reliability adds bottom-line value: high moisture areas, busy production lines, high-speed distribution centers, heavy industry, outdoor settings, and unmanned facilities, as well as military applications. Rugged LTCC/Hermetic Construction Demonstrated reliability in harsh, physically abusive environments with high vibration, acceleration, and/or mechanical shock. Wide Operating Temperature Range Guaranteed performance from -55 to +125°C. MAC mixers have also passed thermal shock testing from -55 to +150°C, through 1000 cycles, 15 minutes per cycle. Exposed Termination Ends Our unique case design allows for easy visual inspection of side solder fillets per IPCA-610 section 8.3.4.6, and features gold-plated terminations for excellent solderability. Incredible Performance/Price Game-changing affordability brings Hi-Rel hermetic mixers within the reach of commercial budgets. Notes A.
