The Big Deal

Product Overview

Mini-Circuits MAC mixers employ a unique new design and a highly repeatable, tightly controlled, automated

process that delivers industry-leading reliability at a remarkably affordable price. Schottky diode quads meeting

our strict specifications are bonded to a multilayer integrated LTCC substrate, and then hermetically sealed

under a controlled atmosphere with gold-plated covers and eutectic AuSn solder. These passive, double-

balanced mixers have been tested to MIL requirements for gross leak, fine leak, thermal shock, vibration,

acceleration, mechanical shock, and HTOL, and every MAC mixer is backed with our 3-year guarantee.

Feature

Advantages

Low, Flat Conversion Loss

No need to compensate for variations over frequency.

Hermetically Sealed

Ideal for use anywhere long-term reliability adds bottom-line value: high moisture areas,

busy production lines, high-speed distribution centers, heavy industry, outdoor settings,

and unmanned facilities, as well as military applications.

Rugged LTCC/Hermetic Construction

Demonstrated reliability in harsh, physically abusive environments with high vibration, ac-

celeration, and/or mechanical shock.

Wide Operating Temperature Range

Guaranteed performance from -55 to +125°C. MAC mixers have also passed thermal

shock testing from -55 to +150°C, through 1000 cycles, 15 minutes per cycle.

Exposed Termination Ends

Our unique case design allows for easy visual inspection of side solder fillets per IPC-

A-610 section 8.3.4.6, and features gold-plated terminations for excellent solderability.

Incredible Performance/Price

Game-changing affordability brings Hi-Rel hermetic mixers within the reach of commer-

cial budgets.
