Product Overview
Mini-Circuits’ ZADC-15-252+ is a coaxial directional coupler providing 15 dB coupling with good VSWR
across the 850 to 2500 MHz frequency range. This model is capable of handling up to 8 W RF input power
and passing up to 0.3 A DC current from input to output. 18 dB typical directivity allows accurate sampling
of signal through the coupled port, and low mainline loss (0.9 dB typical) provides excellent transmission of
signal power from input to output. The coupler comes housed in a rugged, compact aluminum alloy case
(2.0 x 2.0 x 0.75”) with SMA connectors.
