Manufactured from ceramic material for durability and low insertion loss, the SMT Crossover from Florida RF Labs, a Smiths Interconnect company, offers designers the ideal solution when two circuit traces need to intersect. The device is available in RF to DC as well as RF to RF versions.

Features of the SMT Crossover include usability over a frequency band from DC to 4 GHz, 50 Ohms impedance and a minimum isolation of 20dB. Additionally, the new devices benefit from an insertion loss of 0.15dB maximum and an operating temperature range from -55 up to 150 degree Celsius.

The SMT Crossover achieves 100 percent power rating at 85 degree Celsius and from that point it derates to 0 percent power rating at 150 degree Celsius. Maximum power is 30 Watts.
