1 Features
 RF Transformer “Stabilized Matching Device“ is RF impedance matching components.
 You can adjust impedance matching easily between antenna and feeding point, when you use RF
Transformer.
 RF Transformer has very few frequency characteristics. So it’s extremely useful for RF impedance
matching.
 Small size : 2.0 x 1.25 x 0.6 mm3

NOTICE
1. Storage Conditions:
To avoid damaging the solderability of the external electrodes, be sure to observe the following points.
- Store products where the ambient temperature is 15 to 35 °C and humidity 45 to 75% RH.
(Packing materials, In particular, may be deformed at the temperature over 40 °C.).
- Store products in non corrosive gas (Cl2, NH3,SO2, Nox, etc.).
- Stored products should be used within 6 months of receipt. Solderability should be verified if this
period is exceeded.
This product is applicable to MSL1 (Based on IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020)
2. Handling Conditions:
Be careful in handling or transporting products because excessive stress or mechanical shock may
break products due to the nature of ceramics structure.
Handle with care if products may have cracks or damages on their terminals, the characteristics of
products may change. Do not touch products with bear hands that may result in poor solderability.
3. Standard PCB Design (Land Pattern and Dimensions):
All the ground terminals should be connected to the ground patterns. Furthermore, the ground pattern
should be provided between IN and OUT terminals. Please refer to the specifications for the standard
land dimensions.
The recommended land pattern and dimensions is as Murata's standard. The characteristics of
products may vary depending on the pattern drawing method, grounding method, land dimensions,
land forming method of the NC terminals and the PCB material and thickness. Therefore, be sure to
verify the characteristics in the actual set. When using non-standard lands, contact Murata
beforehand.
4. Notice for Chip Placer:
When placing products on the PCB, products may be stressed and broken by uneven forces from a
worn-out chucking locating claw or a suction nozzle. To prevent products from damages, be sure to follow
the specifications for the maintenance of the chip placer being used. For the positioning of products on the
PCB, be aware that mechanical chucking may damage products.

5. Soldering Conditions:
Soldering is allowed up through 2 times.
Carefully perform preheating ：△T less than 130 °C.
When products are immersed in solvent after mounting, pay special attention to maintain the temperature
difference within 100 °C. Soldering must be carried out by the above mentioned conditions to prevent
products from damage. Contact Murata before use if concerning other soldering conditions.
.
Use rosin type flux or weakly active flux with a chlorine content of 0.2 wt % or less
6. Cleaning Conditions:
Any cleaning is not permitted..

7. Operational Environment Conditions:
Products are designed to work for electronic products under normal environmental conditions (ambient
temperature, humidity and pressure). Therefore, products have no problems to be used under the
similar conditions to the above-mentioned. However, if products are used under the following
circumstances, it may damage products and leakage of electricity and abnormal temperature may
occur.
- In an atmosphere containing corrosive gas ( Cl2, NH3, SOx, NOx etc.).
- In an atmosphere containing combustible and volatile gases.
- Dusty place.
- Direct sunlight place.
- Water splashing place.
- Humid place where water condenses.
- Freezing place.
If there are possibilities for products to be used under the preceding clause, consult with Murata before
actual use.
8. Limitation of Applications:
The product is designed and manufactured for consumer application only and is not available for any
application listed below which requires especially high reliability for the prevention of such defect as
may directly cause damage to the third party's life, body or property.
- Aircraft equipment.
- Aerospace equipment
- Undersea equipment.
- Power plant control equipment.
- Medical equipment.
- Transportation equipment (vehicles, trains, ships, etc.).
- Traffic signal equipment.
- Disaster prevention / crime prevention equipment.
- Data-procession equipment.
- Application of similar complexity and/ or reliability requirements to the applications listed in the above.
