Description

The MADL-011023 is a PIN diode limiter assembled

in a lead-free 1.5 x 1.2 mm 6-lead TDFN plastic

package. This PIN diode limiter provides exceptional

low and high signal frequency operation from

10 MHz to 12 GHz.

This device is ideally suited for higher frequency and

lower flat leakage limiter microwave circuit

applications where compact and higher performance

surface mount diode assemblies are required.
