The CLA4609-086LF is a surface mountable, low capacitance silicon PIN limiter diode designed as a shunt connected PIN diode for high power limiter applications from 10 MHz to over 6 GHz. Maximum resistance at 100 mA is 1.5 Ω and maximum capacitance at 30 V is 0.6 pF. The combination of low junction capacitance, low parasitic inductance, low thermal resistance, and nominal 28 μm I-region width, makes the CLA4609-086LF useful in large signal limiter applications. The threshold level is +38 dBm, nominal.
