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 profile case, 0.045” high
CASE STYLE: DL1721
Product Overview
The CLM-83-2W+ protects against ESD and input RF power surges, up to 1.6 W, across a very wide frequency 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.
Key Features
Feature
Advantages
Limiting abilities from +12 to +32 dBm
Protects against very strong undesired signals to help prevent burn out of amplifiers and
other highly sensitive components
Ultra wideband, 30 MHz to 8.2 GHz
Protects against many different types of unwanted signals.
Tiny surface‐mount package
Useful in crowded PCB boards where space is at a premium
Ceramic, hermetic, nitrogen‐filled
construction
Protects against moisture, for long‐term reliability
Response time 2 nsec
Reacts almost instantaneously to limit unwanted high‐level signals
Recovery time 8 nsec
Minimal downtime after unwanted signals are removed, with very quick restoration of
standard operating levels
Low insertion loss and VSWR
Provides minimal degradation to system performance, especially low noise amplifiers
where input loss is critical
Low cost
Practical, low‐cost solution to protect expensive amplifiers or other sensitive applications
from burning out
