Picotest P2131A Port Saver™ Instrument Protection DC Block - High-Performance RF Protection

Overview

The Picotest P2131A Port Saver™ Instrument Protection DC Block is an innovative solution designed to safeguard your valuable RF instruments while significantly enhancing performance. This advanced DC block incorporates cutting-edge features that set it apart from typical RF blocks, making it an essential tool for professional design engineers.

Unlike conventional RF blocks based on ceramic capacitors, the Port Saver™ eliminates AC and DC bias effects, resulting in superior calibration and measurement accuracy. Its unique design also mitigates ferro-resonant noise, ensuring quieter operation. The device boasts impressive specifications, including a wide frequency range of 200Hz to 1GHz for the P2131A model and 1.3Hz to 450MHz for the P2132A model.

Key protective features include inrush current limiting and transient protection, effectively minimising voltage spikes at the instrument when DC voltage is applied. The self-charge and discharge capabilities enhance safety, preventing potential damage from stored energy even when disconnected. With customisable options for input voltage, clamp voltage, and frequency range, the Port Saver™ offers versatility to meet specific engineering requirements.
