Understanding Part Descriptions

All part descriptions consist of either four or five fields (fifth field is for Waveguide parts only).

Example:
CX
07.000-08.570
ICW
SMSFT
 
1
2
3
4
1

The first field indicates the style of the device.

Coaxial (CX), Waveguide (WG), or Drop-In (DI)

2

The second field indicates the frequency span in GHz.

In our example, the frequency span is 07.000GHz to 08.570GHz

3

The third field describes whether it is a Circulator or an Isolator
(terminated Circulator) and sense of circulation (clockwise or counter-clockwise)

Circulator (C) or Isolator (I)         Clockwise (CW) or Counter-Clockwise (CC)

4

This field offers information about the interface (connector type, termination, etc.) at each port, starting with the upper left side (Port A), then advancing clockwise.

SMA Connector (S) or Type N Connector (N)
Male (M) or Female (F)
Termination (T), Removable (R), Flange (F), or 1-inch Connector (1)


WG
Only

The fifth field (only used in Waveguide Parts) indicates the hole type used.

Alternating Holes (A), Tapped Holes (T), Clearance Holes (C),
or Termination (TERM)

Based on our example (CX 07.000-08.570 ICW SMSFT), we now know that this part is a Coaxial device operating between 7.00 and 8.57GHz, and that it is an Isolator circulating in a Clockwise direction, with an SMA Male Connector on the input port (Port A), an SMA Female Connector on the output port (Port B), and a Termination on the remaining port (Port C).
