Product Overview
Mini-Circuits’ VLM-33-2W+ is a coaxial RF limiter ideal for protecting sensitive receiver circuitry from high-power signals, while
allowing low-scattered signals to be received. Providing input limiting range from +12 to +33 dBm and +13 dBm output power,
the VLM-33-2W+ is ideal for many situations where unwanted signals prevail such as manufacturing sites, train tunnels, radar
transceivers and more. The unit features rugged, unibody construction (1.43” x 0.410” dia.) with SMA connectors and provides
excellent thermal stability from -55 to 100˚C, suitable for hi-reliability military applications.
Feature
Advantages
Ideal for a variety of applications requiring protection of sensitive receiver circuitry from unwanted signals,
ESD and power surges on the network.
Wideband, from 0.2 to 3000 MHz
FWide limiting range from
+12 to +33 dBm
Prevents a wide range of high input signal levels from passing through the network and damaging sensitive
electronic components.
Low output / 1 dB input
• 0.3 dB, +12 to +20 input range
Low delta output per 1 dB delta input maintains signal stability in the presence of volatile input signal condi-
tions.
Minimal downtime after unwanted signals are removed with very quick restoration of standard operating
levels.
Rapid recovery, 5 ns
Low insertion loss, 0.4 dB
Low-output power, +13 dBm
Preserves the strength of low-power signals in the receive path.
Low output power prevents saturation of receiver circuitry and provides extra protection for sensitive compo-
nents.
