L42 / SML42 Thin Film Limiter Module 50 to 4000 MHz Rev. V2 Features Product Image • VERY WIDE BANDWIDTH • GOOD SUPPRESSION OF EVEN ORDER HARMONICS • LOW INSERTION LOSS: 3.5 dB (TYP.) Description The L42 signal limiter is a discrete hybrid design, which uses thin film manufacturing processes for accurate performance and high reliability. This design uses Schottky bridge quad and anti-parallel diodes, which provide consistent limiting levels over a broadband frequency range. Both TO-8 and SMTO-8 packages are hermetically sealed, and MIL-STD-883 environmental screening is available. Ordering Information Part Number Package L42 TO-8 SML42 Surface Mount CL42 ** SMA Connectorized ** The connectorized version is not RoHs compliant.
