Product Overview
Mini-Circuits’ ZA2CS-251-20W+ is a 2-way 0˚ splitter/combiner providing 20W power handling and very low inser-
tion loss across the 10 to 250 MHz band, covering applications including AM/FM radio, VHF/UHF, instrumentation
and more. Its low intrinsic losses provide excellent signal fidelity from input to output, even to high-power signals.
This model also provides high isolation and very low amplitude and phase unbalance. It features rugged construc-
tion with your choice of SMA or N-Type connectors and a heat sink for efficient cooling.
Key Features
Feature
Feature 1 High power handling:
• Up to 25W as a splitter
• Up to 20W as a combiner
Advantages
Suitable for many high power applications.
Very low insertion loss, 0.17 dB
Very low unbalance:
• 0.05 dB amplitude unbalance
• 0.5˚ phase unbalance
Very low insertion loss minimizes intrinsic losses, making this model a suitable candidate for
high power signal distribution applications where low loss is a requirement.
ZA2CS-251-20+ produces nearly equal output signals, ideal for parallel path / multichannel
systems.
Good isolation, 25 dB
Minimizes interference between input ports.
Excellent VSWR, 1.1:1 typ.
Provides excellent thru-path transmission with low signal reflection.
