Description

The MZ5010 is a triple balanced mixer, designed for use in

military, commercial and test equipment applications. The design

utilizes Schottky ring quad diodes and broadband soft dielectric

baluns to attain excellent performance.

The use of high

temperature solder and welded assembly processes used

internally makes it ideal for use in manual, semi-automated

assembly.

Environmental screening available to MIL-STD-883,

MIL-STD-202 or MIL-DTL-28837, consult factory.
